    Details of the above loss.


    27 April 1942

    133 Squadron
    Spitfire Vb BM264

    Circus 142. Shot down near Ostend by enemy aircraft. Body washed ashore at Dover on 29 April.

    Franks in his book Fighter Command Losses Vol.2 has the pilot listed as P/O. W C. Wickes, which is probably in error.
