FAA casualties 1940
Hi guys
I don't know if we have any Fleet Air Arm specialists on board, but if so perhaps someone can provide answers to these queries, please.
On 28 March 1940, I believe a Skua of 803 Squadron FTR from a patrol off the Orkneys. Does anyone have the identity of the crew, and the serial number of the aircraft? Is it possible that this aircraft was in combat with Do18 M2+GK that ditched with the loss of Ltn Bolck and his crew?
On 28 May 1940, a Swordfish of 825 Squadron crashed on the Goodwin Sands. The Royal Marine pilot Capt WGS Aston was apparently killed, but I can't find him on the CWGC website. Any ideas? I believe he had a young wife and baby living in Malta, both of him who were later killed in an aircraft crash.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
Brian
