Re: RAF fighter losses on the 14.06.40

Further to Brian's contribution, the ORBs of all three squadrons he mentions confirm that there was nothing reported, no enemy aircraft encountered, and no losses recorded on June 14, 1940.

Sgt PASCOE of No. 111 Squadron landed L2052 at Hawkinge at 14.30 hours, probably to refuel, following a routine patrol. The rest of the squadron had returned to Croydon & he followed later, landing there at 21.00 hours.

Similarly, P/O SOUTHWELL of No. 245 Squadron forced-landed P3577 without damage near Brighton at 16.40 hours due to oxygen failure & also returned later. No mention of any damage to Sgt BANKS' aircraft that I found.
