The closest I can come is:

An 'aunt' (my Mum's best friend ) of mine's father was with JG 2 Richthofen. He was later shot down over France sometime after the BoB by a Spitfire. He took a bullet to the head. Apparently he disliked flying the bf 109. That's all I know.

Some collector, (or was it a veteran?) of JG 2 items came around years later and bought all the paraphernalia and uniforms from my aunt's mother. A real shame I'd have loved to have seen them, or got my mitts on them .

Incidentally a neighbour in her street is a von Richthofen and is related to the famous Baron.

My great-uncle Geoffrey Pledger was a gunner in a Defiant for 141 Squadron during BoB...He died when his plane crashed in April 1941, presumably during landing.

I'll try to post an image up on one of those free sites someday soon.
