Re: FAA Operation EF
Hello,
in answer
800 (HMS Furious) and 809 (HMS Victorious) Sqdns FAA.used Fulmars.
800 and 809 both lost 2 a/c on the 30th .
800 Sqdn: X8624 (P/O. J.F. Black & S/L. F.J.G. Gallichan - both KIA) and N4029 ( S/L E. S. Burke & L/A. J. Beardsley - seen in dinghy, both KIA) were both Mk.II.
809 Sqdn: X8550 Mk.II ( S/L. J. Cooper & LA. D. F. Gilder ); S/L. R. S. Miller (pow) & TAG L/A. L.E. Barrow (KIA) and S/L. T.E. Blacklock & Lt. A.T. Easton (pow's).
From what I have found 21 Fulmars were involved. 9 from Furious and 12 from Victorious.
Of which 6 were used from 800 and 9 were used from 809 on the Raids on the 30th.
