Re: My findings on Sgt Bann 238 Squadron Battle of Britain
Hi,
Re Sgt Bann time.
From the FCL Vol 1
Bann baled out after combat but 'chute failed to open 1500, near Fairham. A/c crashed at Brading IoW.
This is a good 3/4 of an hour before the claims quoted above at 1540 -1545.
As there was no time difference were there any earlier claims made that day? perhaps even some that may have been unconfirmed ?
Further -
From FC Claims vol 1
11th August 1940
Sgt E. S. BANN shared with Sgt Marsh an He 111 destroyed 2m ER of Weymouth at 1035.
But
13th August 1940
Sgt. L. G. BATT claimed an He 111 destroyed Isle of Wight Area.
Was this another pilot ?
Even the innitials are different.
Comments please on this discrepancy.
night
Alex
