Otto Spacek (Cz) 615sqn Hurri 10.4.41

[Jan Gazda]

Hello,

The extensive study on Czech airman in RAF by Rajlich mentions four accidents of Otto Spacek (Špaček):

On 11.11.1940 with 312.Sq. in Hurricane Mk.I P3810 (DU-?) northeast of Speke, engine stopped during flight, force landed, unhurt (this was the match factory incident)

On 28.4.1941 with 615 Sq. in Hurricane V7687 (KW-?) at Benhorn , engine failure during training flight, crash landed, unhurt

On 12.2.1942 with 313.Sq. in Spitfire Mk.Vb AD361 (RY-L) at Rochford, undercarriage collapsed during landing after Roadsted operation, unhurt

On 6.3.1944 with Spitfire LF Mk.IXC MK131 (RY-D) at Mendlesham, take off accident, unhurt

So either the incident on 10.4.1941 is an additional one or it has been confused with the crash on 28.4.1941.
