Re: Sgt. Zygmunt Klein, 234 Sqn., 15 August 1940
Hello Larry and Martin
The RAF Faygate No. 49 MU ORB, states only the salvage place as Christchurch, Hants and date when Inspectors were sent and crews to salve for Spitfire P9363 as 18.8.1940. The Christchurch ORB states:- "Christchurch 15.8.40. 17.15 Air Raid warning sounded. Enemy aircraft overhead. One SPITFIRE forced landed badly damaged by enemy action, pilot safe and later flown by aircraft of this station to MIDDLE WALLOP. Guard sent to crashed SPITFIRE in BOURNEMOUTH, pilot killed." According to Larry's additional information, Klein's aircraft was struck by a lorry as well? I keep meaning to request both sides of the AM 78 Aircraft Card. I think the RAF Museum also has RAF vehicle cards? Perhaps these can shed further light? Mark
