Re: Loss of 3 Hurricanes of 85 Sqn 20 May 1940

Yellow 6

My question was regarding S/L Peacock and nothing else. My source regarding his bale out on the 19th is our eminent Peter Cornwell and the excellent The Battle of France then and now. My question remains the same. If someone gets posted on the 20th from 601 Sq to 85 Sq, why is he then listed with 85 Sq on the 19th, the day be baled out?
In your mail you tend to confirm that Peacock arrived to the 85th on the 20th, so how can he bale out from one of the units aeroplanes on the 19th?
If someone says he arrived on the date of the 20th, he cant be there on the 19th as well could he, unless there is something fishy with these postings...

Cheers
Stig
