Spitfirs IX, BS251, 332 Squadron - Luftwaffe and Allied Air Forces Discussion Forum

ashley356 · #1 26th September 2010, 23:12

This Spitfire was lost with Sgt Johan Nicolay Eyde on 30 January 1943 when it broke up in a high speed dive over Suffolk. Sgt Eyde had fought with the Norwegian resistance before escaping via Sweden and subsequently training in Canada before joining 332 Squadron.

I am researching his service with 332 and although I have a copy of the 332 Sqn ORB it does not record the individual aircraft letter of BS251.

Does anyone have a record of this or indeed any further information/photographs etc relating to Sgt Eyde?

Thanks

Thanks for that Stein. If you don't mind me asking, where did you get the info from?

Regards

From ORB and Pilot's Flying Log Book.
