Re: Seeking photos/info of 92 SQ Spitfires crashed & damaged during 23.5.40 combat over France
Hi again,
about Pat Learmond : in september 1987, l'association Maurice Choron dug up a spitfire MKI wreck, between Blériot Plage and Sangatte : From witness , this a/c was shot down in the morning of may 1940 (23/24 may). carbonised ashs has been found still into the wreckage. No proof of identity of the pilot was found. About the a/c, the engine plate was: Merlin III/19131 N° 144503 On the side door of the fuselage which has been found, the trace of a letter code was seen : O - G or Q. Unfortunatly, the engine number is not listed in the forms 78 kept by official records. So this pilot remains unknown. Wise62 |
