Bob van der Stok and Oorlogsvlieger van Oranje (Circus 122)

[Alex Smart]

hello Ruy,


Does "Spitfire the History" have this Spitfire as being with 81 Sqdn when lost not 41 Sqdn ?.

"BL595 38MU 9-1-42. 41S 10-2. 81S 12-2. FTR Opps 12-4. FH 64.20."

In which case the codes would have been "FL" instead of "EB".

Any photo's exist of the a/c either before or when captured ?

Air Brit BA to BZ has her with 41 Sqdn and missing on a sweep 12-4-42.

Just wondered if confusion set in, as Van der Stok reached England from Spain in July (44) was it the 14th ?

IIRC he was the 18th man in the tunnel.

Died in the USA in 1993.

night
