If need be, I can go through an pull up at least a dozen names of pilots from 85 and other squadrons in the same vicinty that have never claimed a Tripe, but I'll start with just these three.
Elliot White Springs, who had 4 victories whilst with 85 did not claim a single tripe during that time, or ever.
Spencer B. "******" Horn, who was in 85 Squadron does not have any Triplanes on his scorecard.
During the time Mannock was with 85 Squadron, he has ONE Tripe on his.
