J R Lloyd - 615 Sqn

[Ned Wobmit]

Hi guys,

I was wondering if anyone has any info or an ORB for 615 Sqn for June 1940.

I have been asked by a computerless member of the "The Old and Bold" for more infomation on (I believe, Plt Off) J R Lloyd who was part of 615 Sqn RAF and lost his life on 22 June 1940.

He is buried (again, I believe in La Mailleraye, Normandy). Any expansion you can give would be gratefully appreciated.

I've had a look at the link below, I just wondered if there was anything else someone might have on Lloyd.
