Chris Allen: On your site you mention Pilot Officer Kidd of 602 Sqn RAF being shot down over the D-Day beaches.
My uncle George Llewellen Baggett (known as Lew) was flying with 602 on the 7th June 1944 (Spitfire LO-Q) and saw Kidd shot down over the Omaha beachhead. A section of his flying log is attached.
