Re: Bertie Rex O´Bryen Hoare accident with a Fairey Battle

Paul, Amrit and Leendert!
I do thank to both of you the kind contribution and help in discovering this incident. I had tried some links with 207 Squadron, but got no joy. Being so famous and, as far as I do remember, one of the few ( if not the only one ) to fly "blind of one eye" with the RAF during the Second World War, I do not know why or how there is no information available about him on the sites or archives...maybe, as Chris positively admited: being a pre-war incident as well as not having caused material damages, it was forgotten...
Chris, do you have any suggestion to where to look now on? From the information you posted, the access to Cranwell´s Archives will be restricted to people like me, isn´t it? Someone do possess the 207 Squadron´s pre-war ORBs?
I would like to, again, say my sincere thanks to both of you on your kind contribution and help.
Sincerely yours
Adriano
