Seeking Combat details for Wally Churches
In a few different books I have seen P/O Wally Churches (Edward Walter Churches) of 74 Sqn be credited with shooting down a 109 on 18 March 1941, but I can't find a combat report for it or any other information. Does anyone here have any clues?

Re: Seeking Combat details for Wally Churches
Bf 109 destroyed SW Folkestone 1335 hrs. John Foreman seems to think this was a combat with 6/JG 51 and one Bf 109 c/l at Wizernes. This might help: http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/d...e=1&mediaarray=*

Re: Seeking Combat details for Wally Churches
Thank you Chris, appreciate that!
Unfortunately, although it lists the 18 March on the Achives site, it isn't actually in there.

The combat report is at Air 50/32-62&63; that is, frames 62&63 of the microfilm, which would be the numbers stamped on the report.
Enjoy! Frank.

Thanks Frank. It's not on the website so will have to visit the actual building.
