Otto Spacek (Cz) 615sqn Hurri 10.4.41

[uckwash]

Špaček was injured in 1940 and survived three air crashes during World War II’:

'He was stationed initially at Speke near Liverpool, where he narrowly survived when the engine in the Hurricane he was flying failed, and he had to glide it down, landing in the wood store of a match factory, which fortunately did not catch fire when his fuel tanks leaked'

On 10.4.41 Hurricane Z2637 he was flying crashed at Spratts Brook farm, nr T.Wells. Whichever of the 3 that was.

I'm presuming this was a forced landing as the Hurricane was later repaired??
