Re: 218 Squadron - HA-R - FRANCE - 1940

Three points:
1. If the photo is Sedan then the HA-(B/R) is most certainly a loss in operations from Auberive
2. There is a photograph of HA-R, K9273, in Valiant Wings, 1994 edition, page 197 ‘bombed on ground Auberive’
3. So looks highly Battle in wood is HA-B, so if that is case then assuming no two planes would be at the squadron with same codes at the same time the plane in the wood would have to have arrived at squadron after a previous HA-B left…. HA-B, K9324 recorded to 10MU, 7 March.

Therefore if the plane in the wood is HA-B it is likely to be a Battle arrived at Squadron after 7 March then lost in operations from Auberive.

Havn’t got the time right now to go through the elimination work but it should be possible to come up with very few possibilities from that starting point combined with known info on losses, codes (HA-J, HA-D, HA-W etc)….maybe, hopefully, even leaving just one….

best regards

Iain
