FAA ACCIDENT 13 NOV 43

It is believed that Barracuda P9859 of 815 Sqn crashed at Hinton Ampner due to an accident on the above date. Sub-Lt N J Daly was killed as was another crew member but the only name I can come up with is Sub-Lt N Macleod of 759 Sqn which wasn't flying Barracudas. Can anyone confirm one way or the other?

Re: FAA ACCIDENT 13 NOV 43

Chris,

Only Daly listed for this crash on the www.naval-history.net website for November 1943.
I am not sure if the release of ADM 358 RN casualty files have gone that far yet. Maybe someone can help ?

Regards,

Martin.

Re: FAA ACCIDENT 13 NOV 43

Thanks Martin. That is exactly what I have but local accounts say 2 were killed so being fighter affiliation, I wonder if Macleod was there to advise especially as they had only just taken on the Barracudas?

Re: FAA ACCIDENT 13 NOV 43

Hello,
From "FAA Aircraft 1939 to 1945".

Barracuda II, P9859 a bit of a puzzle

"RY25.6.43; 815 Sqn Lee, dived in from 3,000 ft on fighter evasion practice, Cheriton, 10 mm SE of Worthy Down, Cat Z 13.11.43 (S/L. N J Daly killed).BUT 756 Sqn Katukurunda, fuel supply failure, ditched, Cat Z 24.12.43 (S/L D B Hayter RNZN OK)."

Sea Hurricane Ib, Z4686 759 Sqdn Collided with Z4500 in dogfighting exercise, crashed Thurlaxton, near Taunton 13.11.43, S/L. N. MacLeod killed.

Sea Hurricane Ib Z4500, 759 Sqdn, S/L. P. Basssingthwaite killed.

Perhaps A different Barracuda than P9859, possibly P9889 ? 815 Sqn 1.10.43 to 11.43.

Alex

Chris

What makes you think someone else killed? Death register has only Daly of service age on list for Winchester

Locals thought one baled out and hit tail. Obviously not!

Thanks for clarification on possibilities for serials

I should say that my interest in this is as a 14 year-old, I found the crash site and dug up what was quite a bit of aircraft. Remains went to the SAWAPS but where it all eventually ended up, Lord knows
