Re: information on F/O GRAAFSTRA - 242 squadron - 1940

Hi Laurent
Just a small piece, but in "Battle of France-then and now" by Peter Cornwell ,Graafstra was shot down by Bf109s of JG1 whilst escorting Blenheims to Cambrai. He crashed near Wancourt flying Hurricane P2809. 242 Sqn was the unit taken over by Douglas Bader after it's withdrawal from France and had a high proportion of Canadians among it's ranks
Regards
Dick
