Re: RAF/RN pilot H.F. Bromwich

Hello,

A couple more incidents for H. F. Bromwich:

GRUMMAN G-36A Martlet III - AX736

Deld BPC 17.9.40.
805 Sqn ('P':'X') 9.41 - 8.42.
On TO run, sank to ground with wheels partially retracted, Cat R 3.11.41 (Lt HF Bromwich).

See: FAA Aircraft 1939-1945/Sturtivant & Burrows/A-B,1995/p.228.

and ...

Wednesday, 10 December 1941

The only other action of the day occurred when Lt Bromwich of 805 Sqn (part of the RFNS) attacked a Bf 110 north of Ras el Kanayas. Bromwick [sic] engaging it for 15 minutes in his Martlet. Despite one cylinder being shot away early in the combat, he managed to claim his opponent as probably destroyed (no Bf 110s mentioned in German Casualties).

British Casualties.

805 Sqn. Martlet damaged; Lt H. F. Bromwich unhurt.

See: HOTMAW1/Shores et al/Grub Street,2012/p.381.

Col.
