Can't help with the loss, but at the time 254 Squadron were operating out of Sumburgh, near to Lerwick in the Shetlands Isles, with the Blenheim IVF.

I know, Peter - Sgt Clarke is the only one of 254 Squadron who I can't connect to an aircraft loss.

Thanks Paul,
So I can assume he's was killed or mortally wounded on a combat flight, and the plane he was on returned to base? Regards, Bart

Re: Sgt P.F. Clarke, 546660, 21/06/1940
Hello Paul,
Then he is likely to be killed or wounded near Norway, as most of the operations of 254 Sqdn in this period took place in the Norwegian Theatre of Operations. Hope that somebody can confirm this series of assumptions. Regards, Bart

Re: Sgt P.F. Clarke, 546660, 21/06/1940
Hi,
Just a thought. Could he have been injured when R3628 force landed at Scatsta after combat on the 29th April 40 and died of the injuries on the 21st June ? Alex

Re: Sgt P.F. Clarke, 546660, 21/06/1940
If so, would he be listed as 'killed in action on operations against the enemy'?
