British Fighter down on Whitley Common, Nr Coventry, 16 October 1940
Whilst researching the Hampden P1336 crash in May 1940, I have come across a reference to a British Fighter (believed Hurricane) which came down on Whitley Common, Nr Coventry on 16th October 1940. A collision with a balloon cable was involved at some point with the fighter aircraft.
Apparently, the Station at Bagington wanted Operational Control over the Coventry Balloon Barrage, so that the balloons could be lowered in an emergency. Does anyone have an Accident Card handy for this, that they could scan me in jpeg 'Greyscale' 150-300 dpi and pm / email me please? Thanks Mark |
