Hello,

1 Sqdn lost one a/c MIA and the second a/c as Cat E.
Other Hurricane losses on the 14th were -
73 Sqdn Ones a/c , I believe the pilot was P/O. D.N.W.L. ANTHONY who was Killed.
111 Sqdn One a/c s/d by 8/JG 26. ( possibly returned and declared Cat E ?).
245 Sqdn One a/cs/d by 8/JG26. ( One Mia, and one Cat E ).
