by: Red Dragon Captain R Sassard 329 (Free French) Squadron 2017-04-17 17:11:09

On routine patrol from Skeabrae along with another Spitfire flown by Sgt A Rose as his No 2. The weather was poor with bad visibility. Four minutes later Capitaine Sassard crashed into the side of Skelday Hill and was killed instantly. Capitaine Sassard was laid to rest at St Olaf's in Kirkwall but on the 5th October 1948 his body was exhumed and returned home to France.
