Re: Lt Gilmore C. Daniel (RCAF)
"I was transferred to 401 Squadron. They were being equipped with P-39s. We were assigned to the Fighter Development Unit which had many different types of planes - Me109, FW190, Ju88, Ju87, He111 and Do217 as well as P-40 and P-36, and Whirlwinds, Typhoons, CR42. We strafed flak ships at Ostend and Calais trying out American planes."
No.401 Squadron was by then a Spitfire outfit - and the RAF as of that date had no captured FW.190s to test-fly. It also seems doubtful that the RAF (even the Fighter Development Unit) would be playing with P-36s - hardly a modern type of machine ! The RCAF List for 1 July 1945 shows J15016 G.C. Daniel as a Flight Lieutenant (seniority from 19 August 1943).
