Taford Collins
Acting Flt Leader
B, Flt, 213 Sqn
Tangmere AF

8 Aug 1940.


Boulder Dash, shot down on my 1st Flight. I was posted over to 213 Sqn from a Operational Training Unit along with 2 other replacement pilots. Being Senior in flight time and time in grade I was given the Acting Leader spot. We were at 10000 ft over Ventor when Me 110's dropped on us out of the clouds. Then it was a mix up. I popped away at one then looped and turn for another run at the sods, I took hits from a rear gunner ? and fuel pressure dropped the the motor stopped. sense the ailerons felt like lead, I went over the side.
