I meant to query this on the First Light thread as I thought I heard Gannic mentioned when Wellum was lost in cloud.

Have done a lot of research on 92 Sqn, albeit for 1941, but I have never seen reference to ‘Gannic’ in any combat report or intelligence report.

I have a lot of combat reports for 92 for the 1941 period and the call-sign ‘Garrick’ crops up all the time. Jamie Rankin usually began his combat reports with ‘I was Garrick leader’ as did Brian Kingcome for a 109 destroyed on 24/7/41. Others to refer to Garrick in their CR’s are Don Kingaby and Ronnie Fokes.
