Re: Missing airman : RAF matricule 48949
If the crash at Lessines was on 14 May 1940, and the pilot was killed, this cannot have been Fg Off Allen of 85 Squadron. Allen baled out safely 10 miles NW of Gembloux on 15 May 1940. He had returned to his squadron on 16 May and was shot down and killed between 0630 and 0700hrs on 18 May not far from Neuvilly.
However, Hurricane P3533 crashed at Fonds des Solesmes, Neuvilly, and was not the aircraft Allen was lost in - which was P2555. The pilot of P3533 was killed and remains unidentified. Unfortunately, we do not even have a clue as to what squadron P3533 was on the strength of. Last edited by Andy Saunders; 28th June 2011 at 23:19.
