Re: Which stories behind these photos?
This is a harder one to trace. It belongs to 56 Sqn. However, 56 Sqn ORB did not seem to record individual codes - otherwise Norman Franks would have listed them in 'RAF Fighter Command Losses'.
Its likely the pilot either evaded or was made POW - unless of course he died of wounds shortly after making a relatively safe landing (unlikely). The aircraft is not from the first series production starting with L1547 to L2146 as these had fabric wings. At a guess I think it might be N2659 that force landed 29th May 1940 on the beaches and the pilot PO KC Dryden returned by boat.
