225804 Sgt. Charles Francis Plimmer DFM.Royal Air Force A Flight 107 Sqdn. As far as I can gather from information in my father, Charles Plimmer's log book, he joined 107 Squadron in April 1940 flying Blenheims. However, that could have been earlier, as his log book previous to this date had him flying Blenheims, but without Squadron details. He flew around 160 hours up to the end of 1940, subsequently being posted to North Africa. On 5th May 1940 while on a bombing raid over Albert, France in A/C P4856 he was attacked by four ME109s but managed a forced landing back at base. He was back in the air six days later.
