Re: 218 SQUADRON CREW LIST 14-05-40
Hello,
I have noted from my old notes for my article "lost Battles" for Air Enthusiast that the following aircraft were abandoned at Auberive.
K9251 HA-K
K9273 HA-R
P2192 HA-E
I have photos of all three aircraft - in the case of K9273 and P2192 both Battles have had tailplanes/ailerons/props removed suggesting that they were being stripped down before being shipped off for repair. K9251 seems to have suffered port u/c failure and has had merlin removed.
It seems likely that HA-P L5192 was also abandoned at Auberive. Photos also exist of Battle L5402 which was burnt-out at Auberive.
Hope this helps,
Simon
