Bombay I loss - 17 June 1940
On 17 June 1940 Bombay L5852 hit a hill at East Dean, West Sussex, and crashed killing five members of 24 Squadron:
F/O C O Murphy P/O H E Large LAC E Wragg LAC L Bradburn LAC W A Harper However, the aircraft is shown as a 271 Squadron machine, attached from 216 Squadron. Were the 24 Squadron guys just passengers? If so, were there others on board from 271 Squadron? (216 Sqn were in the Middle East )That being so, were there other casualties or did they survive and who were they? The ORB for 24 Squadron makes no mention of the event.
