Re: Spitfire collision 4/4/42
S/Ldr Henryk "Hesio" Szczęsny DFC, VM (9 1/3-1-2 vic.), Northolt Wing's S/Ldr Tactics, was brougt down in 315 Squadron's Spitfire IX BS514 PK-U. He collided with Fw 190 (according to Szczęsny - during head-on attack on Fw 190, both machines ram each other in the wings), or he was shot down by Germans.

During that mission (Ramrod 51) F/Lt Stanisław Łukaszewicz (EN124/PK-F) and F/O Przemysław Panek (EN185/PK-J), both from 315 Squadron, were killed near Rouen, when they collided with in the air.

Those events took place on 04.04.1943.

Regards,
Artur
