Re: Hamilcar's at Arnhem
Hello Alex
Reference "16th September - LA691 - lost enroute to Arnhem." This has to be suspect as Market Garden didn't start until 17 September - although Alain hasn't put in a date perhaps this could be the answer to that loss, but on 18 September "On september 1944 Hamilcar Chalk 903 made a emergency landing at Bellem Belgium. The crew was Cpt Halsall Bernard and Sgt Lodge John. There were 7 man from the 2nd Airlanding Anti Tank Battery." - which then appears to be "19.09.44 644 Sqn 1 Hamilcar = C/n 903 on LZ-X, a repeat or completion of an abortive sortie the previous day"
Cheers
Allan
