Enzo the Magnificent Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Spitfire Mk. I N3180 KL-B, 54 Sqn, 28 May 1940 On 28 May, Pilot Officer Al Deere attacked a Dornier (some sources say a Do17, others a Do215) over Dunkirk. The return fire from the Dornier was very accurate and Deere had to make a forced landing on a beach in Belgium. He was knocked unconscious by the landing and was dragged from the wreckage by a soldier. N3180 caught fire and was burned out on the beach, although the fire was put out by the tide! Deere walked to Oost-Dunkerke where his injuries were tended. He then hitched a lift in a lorry to Dunkirk, got on a boat to Dover and took a train to Hornchurch. How nonchalant is that!?!
