Re: Search for missing RAF crew members May 1940.
Hi Fred

Re your queries:

I can't find a loss for 17 Squadron Hurricane on 13 May, nor 87 Squadron Hurricane for that date.

However, I do have two Hurricanes of 87 Squadron shot down by Bf109s on 12 May - L1970 (Flg Off JA Campbell killed) north of Liege and L1632 Sgt FV Howell baled out north of Liege. Also L1616 of 87 Squadron Plt Off PL Jarvis shot down by Bf109 and crashed west of Maastricht (killed) on 14 May.

The Lysander of 13 Squadron lost on 15 May was L6885.

I should be able to find more information but not for a few days owing to pressure of my own work. Do you have a copy of 'Twelve Days in May'? What is your interest in this period?

Cheers
Brian
