Re: French aircraft evacuated to UK
Related to this in a way I used to know a Fleet Air Arm veteran some years ago, who flew Grumman Wildcats, aka Martletts in the RN.
He told me many great stories one being of some captured French Wildcats they were shipping back, or had been moved back to the UK and they were moving, however on route in the air they discovered the engine bearers had been sabotaged and his engine fell off while approaching Lee on Solent.
I have no dates but does anyone know any more about these or this incident
