Re: Loss of 3 Hurricanes of 85 Sqn 20 May 1940
Bart,
I cannot answer for the CWGC. Michael Fitzwilliam PEACOCK was a pre-war member of No. 601 Squadron and was the best aerobatic pilot in the squadron. Born in South Africa he was educated in England, captained Brasenose College Oxford rugby team, skied for England, & became a barrister sharing chambers with Roger BUSHELL another celebrated member of the squadron. BUSHELL went on to command No. 92 Squadron while PEACOCK was posted to command No. 85 Squadron on May 20, 1940, after S/L 'Doggie' OLIVER was posted to command No. 60 Wing.
