Hudsons 206 Squadron July 1940
Hi guys
On 3 July 1940 Hudson from 206 Squadron operated off the Dutch coast and P5143 flown by Plt Off BURNE was attacked by a Bf109. His rear gunner LAC DEIGHTON reported shooting this down in flames. (a) Was there a Bf109 loss - if so, unit name of pilot and fate required, please. (b) Was the Hudson pilot Tom Burne, who later flew a Hudson to Singapore and lost a leg when a bomb exploded beside his aircraft? Tom Burne later remustered as a Spitfire pilot and flew with 41 Squadron, gaining a DSO. (c) What was the full name of the AG, LAC Deighton? I note that a LAC Raymond Deighton was lost on 5/7/41, possibly with Bomber Command. Same person? Cheers Brian
