29 October 1940 - Hurricane loss at Wallington
According to the detailed diary of the late Alexander McKee, he witnessed an air battle over the Portsmouth area on the afternoon of the 29 October 1940 during which he observed a Hurricane make a forced-landing in a ploughed field at Wallington. He later cycled to the site and saw the aircraft, on its belly, and with smashed props. He noted the codes were AJ - A (sic). Could this have been a 213 Squadron aircraft and the codes were actually AK ? If so, might this be V6868?
Peter Cornwell (BOBTAN) has this as severely damaged that day. Was it lost in the same air battle as V7622 (P/O R R Hutley) at around 2.45 that day? The timings would certainly fit with McKee's diary. And who was the pilot??
