Re: eBay: Allied intrest
Yes indeed, but that is a bit of a strange one.
BoF quotes L5248 as being lost on 6 May 40, saying:
"Crashed at Villiers-Charlemagne, east of Houssay, during endurance test; cause not stated. Sergeant N.F.F. Giddings and LAC C.J. Goddard killed. Sergeant Adcock injured. Aircraft a write-off"
That does not look like an aircraft in which two crew lost their lives to me.
Maybe we are looking for another serial for the 6 May 40 loss?
The 88 Sqn Record of Events just records the loss, having being compiled in September (the unit's records were destroyed on evacuation from France).
