SABENA. Capitaine Vanecre. Mai 1940.
Good morning,
In may 1940, capitaine Vanecre a SABENA pilot would have escaped from Belgium to England flying a Dakota of the late company. He then would have flown R.A.F replacement fighter pilots to France onboard this aircraft. Can anybody confirm this and would have details about this airman ? Many thanks. Bernard.

Re: SABENA. Capitaine Vanecre. Mai 1940.
Hi,
I think his name is Capitaine Jo Van Ackere, civilian pilot flying for the SABENA in May 40. The two DC-3 were incorporated in R.A.F. after the 10th May 40 (24 Squadron). The Belgian pilots' status was ambiguous, because they were civilians flying into war under the R.A.F. control... Rgds
