Re: 213 Sqn 5th 11 1940

Seem to remember looking at this and Andy Saunders might be able to help but 213 Sqn was dreadful at completing their F540 in the BofB so don't hold your breath

As Chris says, 213 ORB's are terrible.

However, I can tell you that Sgt H A Adair suffered some kind of landing incident at Tangmere on 5 November 1940. He was killed in action the following day. My file is not to hand to check if this was his aeroplane, but fairly sure it was. I will try to look it out and come back to confirm for you.

Hope this helps.

Wynn in Men of Battle of Britain days Adair had a night landing accident on the 5th November 1940, the day before he died. So looks likely to be in P5202 !

I would never assume anything with 213 Sqn-battle damage is recorded on the F78 and according to Andy Adair suffered a landing accident?

Chris

I will look in Aircraft of the Few for any othe 'incidents' on the date in question. But I note both FC War Diaries and BoB Forgotten Months both do not explicity state 213 engaged in combat on that date.
