Thanks for sorting this out makes perfect sense now, I never picked up the double meaning of "landing" that Steve underlined

The fact that he landed in P2542 (subsequently lost Sept 14th 1940) and did not bale out would actually explain his omission for the Irvin list I have up to end of April 1940 - when others from the same date April 7, 1940 were included (and from my evidence in other incidents before May) Units in France were quick to get there application into Irvin, certainly F/O Edgar James "Cobber" Kain in L1766 on March 26, 1940 is on it!

and the fact the serial is listed unknown in the books listed in this post. A 'lost' 100% write-off Hurricane of 73 Sqn could not be found!

I have moved this from my 'more info required' to 'sorted'

Thanks again and at least we can put this to query to bed now after 73 years
