Re: Vichy French pilots 1940
Hi Neil
I've sent you a PM to cover the e-mail not received by you. Hopefully, someone will be able to confirm whether D.520s of GCII/3 did participate in the action against the Skuas on 6 July. FAA reports suggest that two were claimed damaged. Any info? Also, the French GCI/4 pilot at Dakar named Patrick O'Byrne - what was his background? Obviously of Irish extraction but was he Irish or French? What was his fate? Any info would be appreciated. Cheers Brian

Re: Vichy French pilots 1940
Hi guys
Whilst on the subject of the attack on Mers-el-Kebir, I note that two Swordfish of 818 Squadron ditched with AA damage on returning to Ark Royal - both crews were rescued but who were they and what i/d were their aircraft? Can't seem to find any further information. Cheers Brian
