Re: Unknown RAF pilot?

Hi Andy,

This mystery has a Czechoslovak trail. I am out of my home and the sources for details but that airman should be Czechoslovak ace W/O Dygryn-Ligoticky of the 1 Sqn. He did not return from Intruder action in Hurricane IIC on 4th June 1942. Flak over Le Havre could be a possible reason for his death according to report of another Czech member of the Squadron, F/L "Kut" Kuttelwascher DFC & Bar who noted a fierce barrage on some a/c there when returned from own night action.
Three medal ribbons were DFM, Czechoslovak War Cross with two Bars and Medal for Bravery.
The revolver was his passion and the dedication was for his English wife killed sometimes in 1941, and a dog (?).
W/O Dygryn-Ligoticky is burried at Westwell.
If you want contact me off board on fairlop AT quick.cz address.

Regards,
Michal
