Re: Seeking photos/info of 92 SQ Spitfires crashed & damaged during 23.5.40 combat over France
Hi,
Many of the items found during the activity of Maurice Choron association are now into H. Chevalier and J.Leclercq 's hands (as for G.Chalk and P. Laguna spitfires parts). In his book, Hughes Chevalier refers to "Maurice Choron group" and have added pictures of several of these items. I think that these parts had been kept by the president of the association, Patrick Hembert, who gave up them.
For me, I have only a picture of the plates and parts of clothes, taken when they have been found in 1987.
Unfortunatly, I have lost contact with Patrick Hembert many years ago.
But what do you think about Peter Cazenove report : He crash-landed on the beach, north of Calais, where his spitfire has been found in 1981,as you know (After the Battle) : you write : " when making for the town, he came across the incinerated fragments of a spitfire, cremated among its wreckage where the remains of his friend, Pat Learmond".
"Making for the town" : Calais, from the northern beach but The wreck of the unknown spit has been found south of Calais
So Cazenove would have had to walk through the town of Calais before to meet the wreck, over the harbour.
Do you know the exact point where P. Cazenove has been taken POW?
