Nearest is L7026 “PS-V”, seen on its starboard side in day camouflage with the gunner in the turret and the pilot under the canopy, with the squadron commander’s N1535 “PS-A” just beyond and a third Defiant further ahead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eNo. 264 Squadron took the Defiant into action in 1940 and claimed heavy German losses over Dunkirk that May. In August, while based at Kirton-in-Lindsey in Lincolnshire, it was sent south to Hornchurch to join the Battle of Britain, and in the last week of the month it lost a large part of its strength to German fighters. Both of the nearest aircraft in this photograph were among those losses. N1535 was shot down on 24th August 1940 with the squadron’s commanding officer, Squadron Leader Philip Hunter, and his gunner, Pilot Officer F. H. King, and L7026 was lost a few days later with both its crew.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis print is ideal for No. 264 Squadron and RAF veterans, Battle of Britain families, and anyone with a connection to the Defiant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImage Taken: August 1940\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhotographer: B.J.
