Re: Typhoon 438 Sqdn crashlanding in Belgium
This occurence would not appear in loss lists as I believe it is the forced landing made by Flg Off F.R.F.Skelly (OK) who put down in a field "near Trun, east of Brussels" - he was lost and presumably running out of fuel.
This info comes from the 'Accident card' which is hand written and difficult to decipher. The serial is quoted as PD497 and the damage category 'Ac', ie. repairable locally. This may well be correct as the Form 78 for PD497, although it has no mention of 438 sqn, has it missing on an undecipherable date in 1944; then it appears with 440 Sqn by 4 Jan 45. This is consistent with it having been recovered and repaired by a local R&SU. It appears in 440's ORB in December 44 and was lost in action on 3 Feb 45 as I8-K. CT
