Re: Tiger Moth Denmark-England
Nothing much more to add. Thomas Sneum has not yet received the attention that he deserves by me, but the story of Petersen is described here

Brian,
Just for fun: small picture of OY-DOK on http://www.ryeflyveplads.dk/ It appears that it flew with 24 Sqn as HM498 later on. Regards, Leendert |

Brian,
I have som time off work next week. I think on the basis of this thread, that I'll try to make up for the fact that I had not developed the Sneum story. Mikkel

Re: Tiger Moth Denmark-England
Profile on Thomas Sneum is updated:
http://www.danishww2pilots.dk/profiles.php?id=87 Would be interested in any information on Sneum flying Mossies and the squadron no of the 2 Spits and 2 Hurricanes that met OY-DOK in Endland. My information indicate a RCAF Spitfire squadron. Regards Mikkel
