Re: mysterious kent crash
I am pretty sure the incident at Biddenden involved Sgt Keane of 54 Squadron on that date, but I do not have any accurate serial number recorded. From my notes it looks as if the ORB didn't give the s/n or else I didnt write it down (?), and it seems published sources offer some conflicting details. Maybe someone out there can offer the correct serial.

Re: mysterious kent crash
Andy,
Pilot Kean (not Keane) is indeed listed as being killed at Biddenden on 17-5-41. The correct serial of the Spitfire (if of any further importance) is a detail to be examined. Regards, Leendert |

Re: mysterious kent crash
Yes, you are quite right. It was E J Kean, without an "e" on the end. Also it was Erl Joseph as opposed to Earl. I had assumed Erl was a typo. Seemingly not.
