Re: Questions about 607 Sqdn Hurricane's

Alex

You seem not to have consulted Peter Cornwell's book BoF Then and Now.

P2620 Check, but w/o 13.5.1940 (not 14/5)
P2621 Sullivan had been assigned to 607 Sq and arrived the same day he was lost. Cornwell says aircraft from 607 Sq and pilot 242 Sq.
P2797 According to Cornwell he was in P3535 which was slightly damaged. P2797 not listed in the index.
P2830 Not listed in the index
P2870 Check
P2873 Check, added that aircraft was lost
P2874 Check, added that aircraft was repaired and returned to unit.
P3448 Check
P3535 Check (13.5.1940), slight damage, repaired and returned. Differs (18.5.1940). Cornwell says aircraft badly damaged, poss by Stab I./JG 77 G.M. Fidler killed in the ensuing crash.

I cannot say if the above compromises P3535 or not. The damage was slight
on 18/5. Was it back and in service already on the 19th to be lost that day?
According to Cornwell, yes.

Cheers
Stig
