Re: Loss of 3 Hurricanes of 85 Sqn 20 May 1940
Well KC
If he flew to France on the 17th and didn't arrive until the 20th, it begs the question what he was doing bailing out on the 19th?
The long transit period would in itself explain the discrepancies but not his bailing out on the 19th. Possibly the records are not entirely accurate. What about he arrived already on the 19th, was shot down, returned to unit, was shot down again and died on the 20th?
We are talking semantics here, I guess out of historical interest, but don't forget what a life they had back in May 1940...
Cheers
Stig
