Re: 238 Squadron pilot in the sea 1940
Hello,
This may help.
I dont have the name of the pilot but there was a 238 Sqdn Hurricane downed on the 5th of July 1940, P3703, dived into the ground at West Tedworth, Wilts.
Fate and Name of pilot ?
The next Sqdn loss was on the 13th, not him.
From Men of the BoB there is a photo.
He completed his flying training and joined 238 Squadron at Tangmere in June 1940. On August 11 he claimed a He 111 and on Sept 21 he shared a Ju88.
He was killed on Sept 28 when he baled from V6776 and his chute failed to open.
Night
Alex
