Re: Loss of Sgt Stevens 66 Sqn 12 Aug 41
Well, all what I can add is that Mk.IIA (P8446) of 152 Sqn. became a victim of 43/XI as well. The a/c crashed at 13.12 hours near Biervliet whereby Sgt. George Desmond White's body was completely burned. He could not be identified and was buried as an unknown airman (initially) on 14 August at the Noorder begraafplaats (cemetery) at Flushing with full military honours.
Mk.IIA (P6793) of 19 squadron - withdrawal cover - was shot down in the Scheldt estuary obviously (according to Prien) by Olt. Ruppert who claimed a victory over a Spitfire at a position 20 to 25 km north-west of Walcheren island. Sgt. John Lennox Calvert remaining missing (RM 31).
