Re: Western Desert 1942

Thanks to Frank for the details on S/L Johnston's claim. Both Chris Shores in Aces High and Don Minterne in The History of 73 Squadron gave the date for this claim as 30 August rather than 31. The reference to "flash" after the serial number may refer to the unique squadron marking of the pre-war red and blue flash fore and aft of the fuselage roundel. Apparently at this time 73 Sqn. aircraft often did not carry any individual aircraft letters.
