Re: Vichy French pilots 1940
Brian,
Somehow also an entry for 3rd instead of 6th July 1940.
While escorting Swordfish a/c some Skuas of 803 Squadron got into a dogfight with 5 Curtiss 75A's.
Skua L2915 was later observed to spin into the sea.
Petty Officer Airman T. Riddler and Naval Airman 1st Class H. Chatterley commemorated on Lee-on-Solent Memorial.
Regards,
Leendert
