Trying to confirm date of British pilot loss
Hello,
In the EoE British loss DB, Peter C. has just posted this: "9 November 1939 Add: RAF FIGHTER COMMAND 3 SQUADRON, CROYDON Hurricane L1907. Crashed in the North Sea, exact circumstances not recorded. Pilot Officer Geoffrey Buller Mitchell killed. Aircraft a write-off. (Source: Studiegroep) Alternative sources record this aircraft crashed in the sea on 1 February 1940. Geoffrey Mitchell was washed ashore and buried at Den Burg on the island of Texel." Since there are apparently two alternative sources for info on this loss, can anyone help confirm this loss date of 9 Nov 1939, and/or provide any further relevant info on this incident? As always, thanx! Regards,
