Trying to verify the story on
http://www.rquirk.com/med/244sqn/244news/244newsn20.pdf from bottom p. 3 under the heading "The Locust Hunt".
In it WOP Don James describes that Vincent K6350 flipped over on 28 Oct 1942 after a bumpy landing in either S. Persia or (now) Pakistani Baluchistan. Plane had departed from RAF Sjarjah on 26 Oct 1942.
Other occupants were pilot F/Lt Riddell and a Russian entomologist. Task was to search for locust swarms.
When I look at the ORB of No. 244 Squadron for 26 Oct 1942, it mysteriously says that "
2 x Bisleys (F/Lt Tiddell and Sgt. Alcock) set off on a 3 days Locust Hunt along the Persian Coast".
Perhaps a forum member has more details about Vincent K6350?
According story of Don James, this type was more likely to have been involved than a Bisley as in the ORB....
Thanks for any info.
