Hi Neil

I've sent you a PM to cover the e-mail not received by you.

Hopefully, someone will be able to confirm whether D.520s of GCII/3 did participate in the action against the Skuas on 6 July. FAA reports suggest that two were claimed damaged. Any info?

Also, the French GCI/4 pilot at Dakar named Patrick O'Byrne - what was his background? Obviously of Irish extraction but was he Irish or French? What was his fate? Any info would be appreciated.

Cheers
Brian
