Re: Identify crashed Fairey Battle
Possibly L5324 or L5524 ?
Am I imaging things but do I see "PH" which is 12 Sqdn code or "RH" which is 88 Sqdn code ?

Re: Identify crashed Fairey Battle
Hello Michel,

Definitely L5524 of 150 Squadron, lost on 13 June 1940.
Crew; Pilot Officer A. R. Gulley killed, Sgt. H. Berry and LAC Donald L. Phillips both POWs.

Regards,

Martin Gleeson.

Re: Identify crashed Fairey Battle
Am still open on this.
Letters on fuselage sure do not look like either " DG" or "JN" of 150 Squadron code's.
