Re: Two Spitfires with LY code captured in 1940

Hi Larry

I have a note that Spit PR1C P9331 of 212 Squadron suffered a glycol leak following take-off from Meaux near Paris on 7 June 1940, and force-landed at Champagne airfield near Reims (believe F/Lt Wilson, pilot). French were asked to destroy it but failed to do so and captured intact by Germans.

Cheers and Happy New Year
Brian
