Re: ID of F/L H. Hopkinson 229 Sqn. 1943

Many thanks, Frank and Col. I have both the books you sited but hadn't even thought of looking in Blood, Sweat and Courage! So these two are definitely the same guy.

Looks like the P/O Hopkinson mentioned by Frank is a different person. By the way, Mediterranean Air War, Vol.2 has him in 250 Sqn. on 10 July 42 when he claimed a share in damaging a Bf 109E. However the same book has him, assuming this is the same individual, in 260 Sqn. when he force landed on 26 Oct. 42.

Cheers,
Tom
