NigG (follow-on to above),
... Both squadrons were subject to a Jap raid which inflicted only very minor damage on their respective aircraft...
Minor damage to an elephant, too. Three airmen killed. Whole story on "Pilot's Brevet" p.135 #2700,
...although you, Danny, had personally been evacuated by that time...
Not exactly "evacuated"! Shanghai'd onto 8 Squadron IAF, more like. The raid was on 11th November, last flew for 110 on 13th.
