Re: No. 6 Squadron fighting in France 1939/40
Hi Jon,
To my knowledge 6 Sqn spent the late 30's and early part of WWII in the Middle East, in particular Palestine and North Africa. It was an Army Co-op squadron equipped with Lysanders and Hurricanes, although it did have the odd Gladiator from time to time. It later used Hurricane IID's with good effect against the Afrika Corps.
I think it then went to Italy in '43, not too sure though.
Alex
