Re: Sgt Bann and 253 Squadron

Hi Brian,

Can you also have a good dig about and see if you can find Sgt Eric Bann mentioned in any literature for France 1940. He mentions in his letters home that after training he was posted to France and I have concluded he looks to have served very briefly with 253 Squadron, however NO RECORDS exist saying he did...other than his own letters home.

I think he may have only served a few weeks with them before forming 238 Squadron, where he was killed on the 28th September. His letters state that over France he was in the thick of it...? I have his records from the RAF and it does not mention 253 Sq at all...so I am at a loss

Thanks
Tapper
