Re: 23rd May 1940
Hello Martin,
A Bit late now but in reply to your note re A E. Yes his story is in issue 43 of AE and there is a letter to correct the editorial in issue 44 by Ray Sturdivant (apologies if spelling is wrong). Strange must be the only aviator who was sacked from his job by the man he trained to fly. He had a runway extended because it was needed and did not have permission to do so. He flew over 5000 hrs and in over 100 different types. And yes there were two Hurricanes repaired of 15, and the other pilot was P/O. Linney.Who took off first followed by Strange who's flight is detailed as is the repairs done, also the airfield where he landed is given. It may therefore be able to trace the Hurricane from there. Alex
