Re: Blenheim L9181 57 Sqn April 11, 1940
Paul,
I cannot identify Simpson by initial or service number in the 57 Squadron ORB or Appendices. Simpson as an Observer continued to fly operationally until the end of October 1940 with Sgt, Greenleaf as his pilot. On 12 November 1940 Sgt. Greenleaf along with his observer (Simpson) were posted to 13 OTU.
That is as much as I can find. Looking at the entries for 13 OTU in Bill Chorley's OTU Losses volume it seems he was able to obtain initials for all or most of the NCO aircrew, even if they were not killed. Does this mean the 13 OTU ORB was better kept than most ? If anyone has access to a copy could they please check for the above airman.
Regards,
Martin.
