Re: Ark Royal Swordfish collision October 1939
As a postscript to this Pardoe (who was the pilot who looked around) and Lloyd (who the observer who fell 3000 feet) without a parachute and survived. Were killed together in another Swordfish incident on 24th April 1940 while with Ark Royal in Norway. I would expect all 4 surviving airman to be on my Irvin 1940 Parachute list (well 3 - technically Lloyd does not count) unless the story is only cullar accurate and that the parachute was not fully clipped on. But only Pardoe ad Lloyd mentioned though initials wrong.
