Re: Spitfire P9550
Crew of the Havoc crashed 17:00 ish off Worthing was
(Results of Work since April 2011) Sgt D Chapman RCAF Sgt J R Sullivan RCAF F/O N Cox F/Sgt D J Parr Form 78 confirms P9550 as lost with No.1401 Flight. Bircham Newton ORB makes no mention of the flight but does list aborted sortie by Blenheim of No.1403 Flight. RNLI records confirm loss off Eastbourne NOVEMBER 7TH. - EASTBOURNE, SUSSEX. A British aeroplane had been seen to crash into the sea, but a search, in which an Admiralty boat and aeroplanes took part, found nothing. - Rewards, £16 8s. 3d. (Source: RNLI Records of Service 1939-46) So if the casualty card gives P9550 then I would put Wilson as body recovered off Eastborne sometime after 7th. Regards Ross
