Well, apparently P9426 was also damaged by enemy action on 19/09/40, I don’t know how badly though and that picture does look more like a flying incident doesn’t it?
Rod.
Well prehaps the incidents have been confused, the aircraft could have had a landing accident the same day (prior to bombing which I believe was in the evening) and the assumption is that it was a result of the bombing… I notice Air Britain listing only said ‘damaged’ on 19th Sept 1940.
Of course it could have had accident day or two before (as shown in photo) and the in the paperwork catch afterwards cause confused
#MetOfficer No aircraft in air today…. due to Volcanic Ash

Loss definately happened 29/10/42 and Manders captured but maybe day later?
