Re: Bombay I loss - 17 June 1940
Hi Andy
Bart could be right about the 217 Sqn a/c being "borrowed" by 24 Sqn. 24 was based at Hendon and was responsible for the transportation of RAF Officers wherever they needed to go. 17/6/40 is the date when the Lancastria was sunk so we were still evacuating personnel from the W Coast of France and 24 Sqn may well have been involved in last ditch evacuations and functioning the way OADU did later in the war ,using any means it could . It might be an idea to find out where the Bombay took off from.
Regards
Dick
