Re: Ju88 at Ofotfjord 16.5.1940
Hi Guys,
Just to clarify, the name Sub/Lt A.T.Easton comes from the entry in Ray Sturtivant`s `Fleet Air Arm Aircraft 1939-45` entry as follows:
L3010 803 Sqn Ark Royal `A8-B`. Ju88 crashed Ofotfjord 16.5.40 (Sub/Lt A.T.Easton & L/A A.J.Hayman. Also it goes on to say same crew and aircraft 5 days later - FTR from fighter patrol,FL due to fog on Sandsoy Island, N of Harstad. Cat.W. 05.30 hrs. 21.5.40.
So either, A/ aircraft serial is wrong for Sub/Lt Eaton. b/ Sub/Lt Eaton is spelt wrong and should be Easton. c/ Ray had the wrong airmen on L3010.
Can anyone figure this out?
Regards.
Dave.
