Martlet crashed 15/9/41, pilot killed
Hi guys

Can anyone provide additional details re the above, please?

The Martlet crashed on take-off from Sidi Barrani North at 0005 in the morning (believe 15/16th), and the pilot was killed.

I would like to establish serial number of Martlet. The pilot was Sub-Lt L.K. Harper

Nothing in Chris Shores Med Vol.1

Cheers
Brian
