Re: Bob van der Stok and Oorlogsvlieger van Oranje (Circus 122)

hello Ruy,


Does "Spitfire the History" have this Spitfire as being with 81 Sqdn when lost not 41 Sqdn ?.

"BL595 38MU 9-1-42. 41S 10-2. 81S 12-2. FTR Opps 12-4. FH 64.20."

In which case the codes would have been "FL" instead of "EB".

Any photo's exist of the a/c either before or when captured ?

Air Brit BA to BZ has her with 41 Sqdn and missing on a sweep 12-4-42.

Just wondered if confusion set in, as Van der Stok reached England from Spain in July (44) was it the 14th ?

IIRC he was the 18th man in the tunnel.

Died in the USA in 1993.

night

Alex
