Re: departure leo451 from Nantes to England 1940 06 19
I have just his name : Lt Yvon Pageot. After a test to Cranwel and training in a OTU near Aberdeen, he maked a mission PHOTO with the squadron 145 above Shark island to prepare a raid with commandos. After that, at the end of 1940, he was affected to Farnborough as "pilote réceptionnaire". After he worked to the BCRA (spy service) and was dropped in Britanny to collect informations about radio navigation X-GUERAT station used to lead the german bombers to Great Britain. A station of this type was located at Vannes Meucon airfield. During this mission, he was arrested by Gestapo and finished the war in concentration camps (Buchenwald, Dora). He survived and obtained Legion d'Honneur by Général De Gaulle in 1966.
