Digby Cotes-Preedy 236 Sqn 1940

Hi guys

A mystery man!

Apparently, according to his logbook, he claimed a Bf109 shot down off Le Havre while flying a Blenheim of 236 Squadron. If this is correct, might his air gunner have been Plt Off Colin Chrystall, a New Zealander who was credited with a Bf109 0n his first operational flight with 236 Squadron, circa July 1940?

Cotes-Preedy also claimed two Ju87s damaged on 23 July 1940.

These claims do not appear in 236 Squadron's records, as far as I know.

Any information welcomed.

Cheers
Brian
