Re: eBay: Allied intrest

Stig. Of the 3 Hurricanes which took off to meet the strafing 109s on the 15th. only one ( Sgt. G E C Genders RAFVR) returned to the field; as the German photo shows her later ( 12 May after 33's last 4 Hurricanes had retired to Crete on 27 April) it's possible that Genders was flying P3732 on 15 April and one of the 2 pilots killed on that date was in another.
Both Hurricanes lost on the 15th were wrecked; Chetham is buried in Phaleron Cemetery but Mackie was not found and remembered on the Alamein Memorial. I think they lost 6 pilots at Larissa and most of their Hurricanes (Mk.Is).



Regards
Nick

Re: eBay: Allied intrest

Indeed Nick

I am also leaning against the theory the photo shows, if not Gender's aircraft, a Hurricane lost on
the ground.

Ed. Photo 4: B-17F 42-30813 RD-L, 306BG (Queen Jeannie) shot down on the Schweinfurt mission 14 Oct. 1943 over Belgium; the Group lost 10 from 18 sent (55%). Total losses 60. The MACR is 820. It was very considerate of the Germans to stand by the serial number.

Hi

I am afraid it is not the good RH-R as the hangar is Mourmelon at 230 kms eastern side

Re: eBay: Allied intrest

Andy,

That RH-R Battle is K9352 of 88 Squadron, damaged on 10 May 1940. At least one photograph shows a partial serial, but enough to reveal it as K9352. Also on my website below.

Martin.
