1 Sqn 10 May 40
Can anyone send me an account of the combat early in the morning on 10 May 40 which resulted in Richey, Walker, Brown, Kilmartin & Soper shooting down a Do 17 on the Belgian/Luxembourg border

Re: 1 Sqn 10 May 40
Chris - don't know if it's any use, but I have the ORB for that, but it won't scan because it's locked. How I can't see. I've copied & saved but still no good.
And I'm too slow a typer to copy it!! = Tim 01451 820426 tim@elkington.net Try this? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1.../france105.jpg Last edited by timothy; 19th November 2010 at 20:36. |

Re: 1 Sqn 10 May 40
Thanks Tim. It would appear that the Combat Reports have understandably gone awry. If you are interested, I have a photo of the Do 17 after its crash-landing

Re: 1 Sqn 10 May 40
Good morning Chris,
There indeed is no combat report for the 10th of May 1940 in AIR50/1. But there are No 1 Squadron combat reports for this date in AIR35/253 including the sortie you mention. If you want me to, I can e-mail you a scan this evening. Best regards. Bernard/

Jolly hockeysticks! All this has prompted me to replace my 134 Sqn (Russia) Avatar with my 1 Sqn one.
