Re: Hurricane - Martlet Collision 11 June 1941

Royal Navy Casualty Lists for this date:

http://www.naval-history.net/xDKCas1941-06JUN.htm

include:
FAA, 800 Sqn, Daedalus, air crash
O'DONOVAN, Terence P, Act/Sub Lieutenant (A), killed
MORRIS, Henry, Sub Lieutenant (A), killed
ROOPER, John A, Lieutenant, killed
All the above on the Lee on Solent Memorial. CWGC associates two of them with HMS Ark Royal.

FAA, 805 Sqn, Grebe, air crash
MUSSON, John B, Py/Ty/Sub Lieutenant (A), RNVR, killed - Per CWGC, he is buried in Alexandria, Egypt.
FAA, 880 Sqn, Condor, air crash
BUNCH, Samuel H, Sub Lieutenant (A), killed - Buried in Arbroath Western Cemetery, Scotland per CWGC. His parents are listed as from London so looks like he might be buried near location of crash rather than in his home place. His wife might of course been from there.


Does the note elaborate between RAF or RN Hurricane?
