Re: 23rd May 1940
Mention of 43 Squadron drew my attention back to this thread. I will dig out my files in next few days but the only thing to hand at present is Woods-Scawen's Combat Report for 16.8.40. He describes his aircraft as "written off" in forced landing, but this may well not have been the assessment of the MU inspector of course. He confirms it was a crash landing near Albany Barracks, Parkhurst, which also removed three of his front teeth! I am pretty sure I have transcripts of most of the 43 Sqn Hurricane AM Form 78's, so will unravel all the questions this thread has posed and see what my notes throw up. Wont be able to do it for a few days, though.
