Sub Lt (A) Lionel Franklin killed 13/4/40
Hi guys
The above Fleet Air Arm officer is listed as lost on 13 April 1940, with no known grave.
One source suggests that he was a Swordfish pilot with 816 Squadron and was killed in action during an attack on German destroyers at Narvik (Norway). However, this is not substantiated by Ray Sturtivant in his excellent book The Swordfish Story.
Any ideas, please?
Cheers
Brian
PS: I hear that Ray is unwell. Any news, anyone?
