30 June 1940

Hi guys

S/Ldr Donaldson of 151 Squadron was shot down on 30 June 1940, and rescued from the sea.

He later wrote his memoirs and stated that 151 Squadron was escorting Blenheims on that date, the latter led by W/Cdr Basil Embry.

Is this correct? I thought Embry was still making his way back to England, having been shot down over France at the end of May.

Cheers
Brian
