Re: Sgt Eric Bann, 238 Squadron - Shot Down 21 July 1940?
Absence of Evidence is not Evidence of Absence - But yes Martin Very Good Analysis
I checked the RNLI List of Services for 1940 = And yes while it possible Life Boat not called out - their is no record for dates for any recovery - and yes iy could have been made ny RAF Motor Launch
Selsey Life boat called out to British Plane on 11th July and Weymouth to a German Plane on same date
on July 14th Weymouth Harbour lifeboat was called out to a British plane and 3 bodies recovered
from August the lifeboat crews were being called out to aeroplane of both nations multiple times
