Re: W/Cdr. Basil Embry, 23 May 1940.
All reading the above it appears that Embry confirms he was at Manston the night before mission 'I had slept in my clothes on the floor of a store building at Manston' - we know that 107 Sqn landed on the 22nd May 1940 at Manston "with all the six aircraft from the second raid landing at Manston late on the 22nd and returning to Wattisham early on the 23rd"
then Embry says ill fated mission - It must have been the 23rd and ORB is wrong - He would have remembered (or his log book would have recorded) staying away from the base and travelling back and then going on the mission
