Re: 313 Squadron loss - 26 June 1941
Definitely non-combat sortie, F/O Karel Kasal was visiting friends when delivering Czech flag to other (310. sqn) Czech sqn. He later on took off completely drunk, made unauthorized aerobatics over base and crashlanded on airfield injuring himself and smashing one Hurricane IIb probably of 310 sgn on the ground.
He was not court martialled for this incident, later completing two tours of combat finally rose to command 313 sqn in 1944.
