Re: wCdr Norman Ryder and the Kenley Wing
I would say it was more shit luck for 403 to be the last squadron out after the proverbial hornet's nest was poked; considering 222 was not engaged, and 331 managed to get deliver two attacks towards the end. What was 222 doing? From the looks of things, the Jafu controller(s) had set their planes up for the perfect bounce once the North Weald Wing had reached its limit and was on the way out.
It is unfortunate this incident weighed on Deere considering W/C Scott-Malden was the one leading the parade. Did he ever write about this operation?
