Re: Sqn Ldr White 74 Sqn 23 May 1940
Hello Andy,
Did you see the page that had the following ?
23/5/40
K9875 - S/L. White - 1440 - 1640.
K9992 - F/L. Treacy - 1440 - ------ - Missing, believed shot down.
L1089 - P/O. Stephen - 1440 - 1630.
K9871 - F/O. Mungo-Park - 1440 - 1623 - wounded, landed OK at Rochford.
K9951 - Sgt. Skinner - 1440 - 1630.
23/5/40
N3243 - White - rescued (?).
24/5/40
N3243 - P/O. Aubert - up 1440 ( BUT P9441 ? ).
K9321 - Hoare - Pow - ( BUT P9321 ? ).
It does seem odd, but due to the time of these events it is understood that errors were made.
You will know this but just added it for interest.
54 Sqn 23/5/40
Deere ( N3180 ) and Allen ( P9389 ) escorted Leathart in Master N7681 to rescue White.
Also of interest is that Cpl. Higginbotham (Fitter/1 ) and Lac. Cressey ( Fitter/2 ) were dispatched by air to France to repair White's aircraft.
Theirs is another story. But in what aircraft were they transported ?
