[focusfocus]

Hello

I have these informations about these losses.

1°Sqd=two losses
Hurricane,serial ? F/LT Mark Brown
Hurricane,serial ?F/LT F.Warcup captured

escort of ships (St Nazaire)

501°Sqd=one losses
Hurricane,serial ? P/O Edmund Sylvester (shot down near Evreux)

Does anyone know more? (time,place,shot down by Luftwaffe?)

Battle of France T&N only has the 1 Sqn losses with little more information and Sylvester is mentioned on 25 May 1940? Shouldn't this be on the Allied Board as it is an RAF question?

indeed,I have Sylvester shot down on 25/05/40 (region Chateau-Thierry) but also on 14/06/40 for the 3rd time (source J.L.Roba)...it seems by III/ZG26

Quite a number of claims when according to T&N just 3 Hurricanes were lost and the 1 Sqn losses were quite a distance away

I have 4 Hurricanes lost

The two of the 1°Sqd,that of 501°Sqd,and one of 242°Sqd(P/O Noel Stanfeld) who after being hit by the III/ZG26 (region of Conches) crashed at Blain (near Nantes).

The reason for the loss of the 2 Hurricanes (1°Sqd) is not very clear.

-No claims of the luftwaffe concern the region of St Nazaire.
-The Wehrmacht not yet present on the 14/06/40 in the region of St Nazaire
-The belligerent lines being at that time Rouen/Paris (entry on this day of the Wehrmacht).
-IF the F/Lt F.Warcup (1°Sqd) HAS BEEN CAPTURED,it's not during an escort of ships.
-The only fight with claims is the region of Conches (III/ZG26)....So? the two 1°sqd shot down region of Conches??.

The claims of the 9/ZG 26 (Hott,Reinhold,Sidow,Montag) appear not to have
been officially approved.
Rest 5 claims (Scherer,Haase,Konopka,Seehausen,Grau) for 4 .not so bad
