andy bird is an unknown quantity at this point
26 May 1940 - RAF Sqn No. Required

At 15.00 hours on 26 May, a fight of 235 Squadron were called to readiness the crews had been detailed to fly to RAF Manston, to escort bomber aircraft to Zeebrugge.

Sorry failed to get the squadron number for the bomber squadron whilst up at Kew ran out of time.

Guess they were either Hudsons, Blenheims or FAA?

Best Wishes

Andy Bird
