Serving with No.249 Squadron, Richard Barclay was shot down south of London on the 27th of September 1940, making a forced landing at West Malling. That day he had already claimed an Me109 and a Ju88, to add to his tally of one Me109, a damaged Do17, a damaged He111, a shared He111 and a shared Ju88. In the next two months he went on to claim a further three Me109 probables and a shared in another Me109, but on the 29th of November he was badly wounded in the legs, ankles and elbow after being shot down by an Me109. By September 1941 he had resumed flying with No.611 Sqn , but had scored no further victories when he was shot down during a sweep over St Omer, making a forced landing at Buyschoeure after being attacked by Me109s and breakinbg through high tension wires. Returning to flight as the commanding officer of No.238 Sqn fighting in North Africa, he claimed a further two victories on the 16th and 17th of July 1942 to become an Ace, with a total of 5 victories plus two shared, two damaged and four probable. Unfortunately, after his final victory he was killed when his Hurricane Mk.II was shot down on 17th July 1942. Some sources claim he was shot down by Luftwaffe Ace Werner Schroer, an Ace with 114 victories who survived the war and lived until 1985. |
