238 Sqn ORB

[alex crawford]

Hi,

Does anyone have the ORB for 238 Squadron for February 1941? I'm looking for a reference to two pilots who arrived on 19th February from 263 Squadron. They are Lt M Perry and Lt J Garnier, possibly Free French.

Any info apreciated.

Don't have the ORB, but I think your guy Jacques Garnier is the same as Jean Gabrielli (according to
www.cieldegloire.com).

Hope it helps.

Hello Alex & Bonjour Bertrand.

It is not Perry or something like that but Maurice Rémy.

The 2 Free French Pilots Roger Motte nom de guerre Maurice Rémy and Jean Gabrielli nom de guerre Jean Garnier, (sometimes Garner also) were posted by mistake to the 263 Sqn. by the British coming from 238 Sqn. they didn't have the capacity to pilot a bi-motor as the whirlwind. So they stayed, If I remember well 2 days before to be posted to 32 Sqn.

Hope it will be useful
