Re: Flt Sgt Jammy Payne 501 Squadron 1940
As an aside, Paul's listing of NCO pilots appears to solve another 501 mystery man. Namely Arthur Owen Lewis. In the past he has been listed as "A. A. Lewis." The Watkins/Listemann book has him so listed without further detail. Further both Brian Cull in First of the Few and Norman Franks in RAF Fighter Command Losses, Vol. 1 show "Sgt. A. A. Lewis" as MiA on 08 June 40 in Hurricane I P3347 (SD-N). However as both point out he is not listed by the Commonwealth War Graves Commision, nor is Arthur Owen Lewis. Interestingly, his loss in not noted by Watkins & Listemann, nor is it found in Peter Cornwell's The Battle of France Then and Now.
I have found him listed as a PoW on the RAF Commands website listing:
357 47913 Lewis A O 566649 RAF
