Re: Flt Sgt Jammy Payne 501 Squadron 1940
Hi,
From the book "One Pilot's War" by W.A.Wilkinson;:- On 15 th June the Author (who had joined 501 as a new Sgt Pilot on 22 May) flew a barely flyable Hurricane from Caen to Tangmere with 3 other u/s Hurricanes led by Senior pilot F/Sgt "Jammy" Payne on arrival they were greeted by S/Ldr.G.Lott of 43 Sq and briefly attached to that unit (Lott and Payne being old acquaintances) after 3 days leave the author and "Jammy" rejoined 43 but were then ordered to fly 2 Hurricanes to Croyden to rejoin 501. Between then and July 4th when 501 moved to Middle Wallop several of the original pilots were posted to OTU's "Jammy" probably being one of them. |
