Red two - 32 Squadron - Biggin Hill.
Partook in lunchtime engagement near Convoy Bread, between Dover and Dungeness. Followed flight leader over to French coast and was shot down and captured with heavy burns by German forces. Spent rest of war in hospital. Picture from Red Two as Red One engages 110s Shot down over France by rear gunner fire from Me110. Claimed one probable Me110. Pilots Notes: Next time Red Leader crosses the French coastline, shoot him with Webley revolver. |

Truth be told, it did happen but not that often. It was frowned upon by Fighter Command to let valuable pilots gallivant off to France and generally the only time that British fighters found themselves there during the Battle of Britain was if they had been focusing so hard on following a target that they hadn't realised that they had followed it home. They usually realised about the time that flak started bursting around them, which meant it was time to go home. |

Just been trying to find out a bit more about that crashed Spitfire at Kemsing, the only reference I can find is one that made a safe crashed landing in 1941 with the only casualty being a civilian firefighter who had run all the way to the crash scene and then collapsed and died (presumably heart attack) when he got there.
Funny little note about Kemsing: Quote:

I don't know why did my engine suddenly stop for no reasons? Also, Task can see me smoking a trail, which I don't. WTF?

Err...Hunter, you might want to crack open the FMB on the 11th July mission. For some reason best known to themselves, the Hurricanes from Tangmere spawn in a giant clump in the middle of a field and promptly explode.
The Spits at Middle Wallop are fine. |
