23rd May 1940

Hi,

On the above date in 2 separate actions, one a.m and one p.m RAF Hurricanes were shot down over Merville. In each case the pilots baled out safely and were provided with patched up Hurricanes on the airfield by Col.Louis Strange and returned safely to their home bases.
Can anyone cast any light on this incident - did it really happen ?
