Re: Hurricane shot down on 23.09.1940?

Hi John
you are right. I look in Cukr's biography by Jiri Rajlich and there is:
Cukr first served in 43 squadron, but on 28.9.1940 he was transfer to 253 squadron. On 23.9.1940 he was again shot down and forced landing in Biggin Hill.
In Rajlich next books about combats and losses of Czechoslovak pilots he write that Cukr was shot down on 23.9.1940 in 253 squadron Hurricane but no more details. And this agree with Alex's info.

There could be probably wrong date of transfer. Or Cukr crashed another day? Can anybody help with this?
Thanks!
Michal
