Re: Charles Perry No. 103 Squadron

Yes I don't really use that book as a reference.

Firstly it is definitely not P2191 as it is PM-K the Tom Fitzgerald loss. I have phoney war photo showing code and Srl No and copy of his log book confirming P2191 as plane he was shot down in and I have German photos showing crashed PM-K as P2191. About as good as it gets for Battle of France! However if anybody can give me the crash site I would appreciate it very much, I only know it as being in a 'forward area'.

Crash site of Perry is well known (indeed see Arnaud's book) and many German photos show PM-J and the code.

Refer also to Chorley's Bomber Losses 1939-40 where - based on evidence known at the time to the author - P2191 was not attributed.

Incidently there are other Fairey Battle attributions I do not agree with - I hope to collate them and post somwhere on the web in the next few months, time permitting....

Best regards
