Re: Mosquito PR IX 540 Sq Lost October 26,1943-Cause?
Hi Kaki,
There is nothing in the 540 Sqn ORB hinting at the cause of the loss (no W/T messege etc). Both Lenton and Haney are still MIA so they probably came down in the sea. Reggie Lenton's rank at the time of his loss was A/S/L. As you are probably aware he was awarded the MC for evading capture (ditched 21 Nov 41 whilst with 39 Sqn) and subsequently fighting with partisans in Crete before getting off the island in mid 1942. Best Regards Andy Fletcher
