Hi guys

Any ideas who the pilot was (212Sqn/PDU), and aircraft involved?

Also, the unit had an armed Spitfire. Any ideas?

Cheers
Brian

Hi Brian,

Have you got any details on the sortie?

PDU flew 3 sorties and 212 Sqn 4 sorties on 05 Jun 40.

Best Regards

Andy Fletcher

Hi Andy

Info extrcated from Johnny Kent's 'One of the Few' if that's any help.

Cheers

Brian,

Kent was in France at this time so it seems likely it would have been a pilot of 212 Sqn who was wounded on 05 Jun 40.

Regards an armed Spitfire, P9453 was a Type G and was used by 212 Sqn towards the end of the French Campaign.

Hope that helps

Cheers

Andy Fletcher
