Re: On And Off The Flight Deck

So far only that South-African born Lt Cdr Jimmy Sleigh shot down a Fw-200 on 19 Dec 1941 while operating from HMS Audacity...

Somehow no Basil Bartlett found in the CWGC registers (yet...).

Sleigh (890 Squadron) and Lt Cdr Bird (881 Squadron) are credited with 3 x BV138 in Nov 1943 while on HMS Furious.
