Hello,
Since my post (No: 11) I have followed this story with great interest.
From what Mark has in his post (No:32) above.
He notes that -
605 Sqdn lost :
6 pilots killed.
1 POW.
1 MIA.
This from the 28th May '40 from the week earlier when it joined the fray.
However, as can be seen in my post(No: 11) I found only
4 Killed
and
2 POW
I also found perhaps an error with the CWGC date given for the death of Danielsen, which is given as the 17th May, this is at odds with the 27th and P3581. Perhaps someone can get this comfirmed and/or corrected ??
There were indeed 5 killed at least, I missed one.
P/O. A. S. Dini,(ex 607 Sqdn) 31st May 1940 I beleive him to have been in L2117 which force landed north of Folkstone, UK.
And I believe that the MIA refered to would have been Muirhead who baled, tried to return by ship, got sunk and rescued safe.
Also to round off.
23th May, Leeson -POW - L2121
27th May, Forbes - POW - L2119
but also
25th May, F/O. G.R. Edge - Safe - N2557 - Cat B Damage.

Other earlier losses were:
AC2. H.J. Taylor on the 1st April 40
and
F/O. R. M. Mainland killed on the 25th April 40 ( was he in L2013 or N2358 ?).
Next loss was 24th June 40 - L2115.

All for now
Alex
