Re: Paul de Jace - Belgium Mosquito pilot (info needed)
Some confusion here:
DZ289 was lost when it crashed on landing Coleby Grange 25.11.43
DK285 was missing presumed ditched in Irish Sea 5.11.43 - F/O P T L Hallett and F/O A W F Quick of 1655 MTU on the Runnymede memorial.
The probable one is DK289 of 1401 Flight (521 Sqdn). Missing on met flight
Just been looking at Even the Birds Were Walking. De Jace's (as it is written in the book) usual Nav was W J Davis, and it seems they flew both DK 289 and DK 285. However, Davis was on leave on the day De Jace was lost, so the serial, nor his replacement Nav are noted.
