Re: Sgt Eric Bann, 238 Squadron - Shot Down 21 July 1940?
Hi all,
Don't really have anything to offer regarding whether or not he was shot down earlier in the war.
I did know Gordon Batt quite well and on one occasion when I went to visit him he showed me, amongst other items, a yellow scarf.
The scarf was made by Eric Banns mother, she produced three, one for each member of yellow section. Bann was killed shortly after that.
Gordon cherished two things relating to his war service, the yellow scarf and a painting of three Hurricanes in flight by Harold Fenton.
I wished I had taken photos of the scarf, paintings and Gordons log books but at the time I didn't really think of it.
Regards
Gerry
