Re: Need ID on wreck of Fairey Battle “M” crashed near village during Western Campaign of May-June 1940
Hello,
Just to be clear, we do not now think that the previously posted photos have anything to do with P2335, which we do show as 226 SQ MQoN. In the EoE British Loss DB we carry that as: "14 June 1940: 226 SQUADRON, FAUX-VILLECERF Battle P2335. Failed to return from attack on enemy armour and believed crashed near Breux-sur-Avre, France. Possibly that claimed by Hptmn Ebbighausen (Staffelkapitän) of 4./JG26 south of Vernon 4.53 p.m. Flying Officer K. N. Rea killed. Sergeant F. Nixon missing. Sergeant H. P. White captured seriously wounded, died in Doullens hospital August 2, 1940. Aircraft MQ*N a write-off." I am presently not aware of any photos of that crash, but would greatly appreciate copies of such if anyone has them, or thinks that they have a good candidate from them. |
