Sorry forgot.
Flg.Off. Alan Trevor Little (RNZAF) washed ashore on the beach of Westkapelle (Island of Walcheren) on 12 July and was buried Noorder begraafplaats at Flushing next day.

Re: Typhoon losses 01/07/1943
Alain and/or Wim,

Is there additional info about two more Typhoons of 3 Squadron lost on 1 July 1943 during same mission?
They were EJ970 with Sgt F. Lawrence (POW) and DN589 with P/O C.G. Benjamin (KIA, RAAF, buried in Rotterdam).

Apparently also victims of Fw-190s.

Regards,

Leendert
