Re: 23rd May 1940

Hello Bart,

That is correct as far as it goes, but 229 sqdn had a flight of a/c sent over to france and what of these ?

Hurricanes of 32,56,145,229,242,253 and 605 were in action on the 23rd as well as Spitfires from 54 and 92 Sqdns.
So to add to the seven Hurricane serial numbers I gave in an earlier post three more were lost (total ten) so it is very possible that Linney was in one of 229 Sqdn a/c that was lost.
Anyone have access to 229's ORB for the period ?

Alex
