Hi Alex,
thank you very much for your infos. The Hurricane P3787 was shot down probably by 3/JG20 pilots but they located the claim "west of Etaples". What do you know about 14.06.40 (only combat losses)? Regards Robert |

Re: RAF Fighter Command losses June 1940
Hi Robert,
Well i have just spent an hour typing out a reply and then lost it so here is a short version. Could only find four, all Hurricanes. No serials though. and one pilot. 1 sqdn 73 Sqdn - P/O. David N. W. L. Anthony, KIA. 111 Sqdn 245Sqdn from JG26 War Diary vol 1 and 2 found the foloing - 17.15 - 22k SE of Vernon-breval - A.Galland - Blenheim 17.28 - Evreux - A. Galland - Defiant/ Battle 17.40 - Dreux - Blume - Battle 17.50 - ? - Gártner - Defiant/Battle 17.50 - ? - Sprick - Hurricane 17.53 - Vernon -Ebbinghausen - Defiant Ltn. Gustav "Micky" Sprick, claimed a Hurricane. From Tony Woods pages can be found the following claims for British a/c. Landry - Battle Tiedmann - Battle Tismar - Battle Schiller - Skua Hott - Hurricane Reinhold - Hurricane Sidow - Hurricane Montag - Hurricane Scherer - Spitfire Haase - Hurricane Konopka - Hurricane Seehausen - Hurricane Grau - Spitfire Galland - Blenheim Galland - Defiant Blume - Defiant Gártner - Defiant Sprick - Hurricane Ebbinghausen - Battle Tietzen - Battle I could find no Spitfire loss and did not look for the Skua. the hurricane claims outnumber the losses of four as noted in FCL and FCWD. hope someone can provide pilots names and serial numbers for the Hurricanes form the squadrons noted. and perhaps others if known. all for now night Alex |

Re: RAF Fighter Command losses June 1940
Hi Alex,
thanks a lot. I think that most of the German pilots on this stage of war had problems with enemy a/c types and e.g had mistaken the Hurricane with Curtiss, Morane and even with Battle! This Skua is very interesting I hope that someone will help with this. Regards Robert |
