Re: Does anyone have info/photo of Bob Holland 92 Squadron 1940
Gerry, my references are as follows:
P9513
Air Britain Aeromilitaria Spring 2007 page 27 has P9513 to 92 Sqn on 7.7.40 and forcelanded Hawkridge, Cat 2 15.9.40 (P/O T S Wade OK) to AST (Air Services for repair) 19.9.40;
R6606
Air Britain Aeromilitaria Autumn 2007 page 122 has R6606 to 74 Sqn on 1.9.40, shot down west of Asford Cat FB/3. 15.9.40 (P/O Anthony Charles Bartley slightly injured) to General Aircraft (for repair) 15.11.40;
Notes: I know the Movement card says 74 Sqn and Fighter Command Losses (FCL) says 92 Sqn & Holland - But FCL also says Holland - Bailed Out, which could not happened.
Other options include R6600 which reportedly had a crash landing on this date 15.9.40 (the assumption is this happened at AST, where it was after an accident on 19.8.40 while with 602 Sqn) - but if this was the case, why was it then sent to Scottish Aviation (i.e another repair agency) on 17.9.40, so the other assumption could have been re-issued to another Sqn and this was not recorded on the Movement Card
Wade was with 92 Sqn
BTW Trivia.. Anthony Charles Bartley (who I accept was in 92 Sqn) was Deborah Kerr's first husband
