60 Squadron Huricane loss 1943
Hi guys
I'm endeavouring to identify a 60 Squadron Hurricane pilot lost in 1943, actual date unknown. Any ideas? Cheers Brian |

Brian,
A good place to start: http://www.rafcommands.com/database/...qacid=12&qt=YT NB. A work in progress - contact Jagan at RAFCommands. Col. Last edited by Col Bruggy; 5th March 2018 at 01:12. |

And to narrow the time frame down 60 squadron didn’t re-equip with Hurricanes until August 1943
http://www.historyofwar.org/air/units/RAF/60_wwII.html Starting operations on the type in November 1943. |

Re: 60 Squadron Huricane loss 1943
Thanks guys
The only information I have states that Flt Lt Eric Bambridge (apparently 60 Squadron Hurricane circa 1943) lost his unidentified No.2, who baled out. Unfortunately he was misidentified by a Gurkha patrol, who shot him dead. Rather vague, I admit. Cheers Brian |
