Re. Hurricane P2727.

I have the AIR 81/763 personnel casualty file for Sgt. Dermot Flynn, lost on 2 June 1940. There is almost nothing in it about the circumstances of his loss, except for his POW Questionnaire of May 1945 but even this has almost no detail.
Under the line "Did you bale out, crash, force-land, ditch or get blown out ?" he wrote 'Crash land'. For the location he gave 'near Calais' and that he was made a prisoner the same day. He also wrote 'Hurricane Z' for his aircraft, but this is probably an understandable mistake after five years !

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Martin.
