802 Squadron 28 May 1940
Sometime in the morning of 28 May 1940 three Sea Gladiators of 802 Squadron shot down a He-115 of 2./Kü.Fl.Gr.506 that was shadowing HMS Glorious.
Does anyone know the time of the encounter? Thanks in advance for any info! Sources: Brian Cull Flying Sailors at War volume 1 Chris Shores et al Fledgling Eagles John Winton Carrier Glorious |

Re: 802 Squadron 28 May 1940
Air Britain's "FAA Aircraft 1939-1945" only has on page 221,
28.5.40 802 Sqn Glorious, He115 shot down off Norway, BU on hitting water 66°10' N,2°12'E,1050. Shared by Lt.GH Feeny, Lt. GDD'E Lyver & Lt. DHH Ogilvie. It may be possible to trace those Sea Gladiator's on Glorious on this voyage and by elimination arrive at a possible three aircraft . Good luck. |
