Re: Seeking photos/info of 92 SQ Spitfires crashed & damaged during 23.5.40 combat over France
Hi again,
about Pat Learmond :
in september 1987, l'association Maurice Choron dug up a spitfire MKI wreck, between Blériot Plage and Sangatte :
From witness , this a/c was shot down in the morning of may 1940 (23/24 may).
carbonised ashs has been found still into the wreckage.
No proof of identity of the pilot was found.
About the a/c, the engine plate was:
Merlin III/19131 N° 144503
On the side door of the fuselage which has been found, the trace of a letter code was seen : O - G or Q.
Unfortunatly, the engine number is not listed in the forms 78 kept by official records. So this pilot remains unknown.
