Thanks to David Pausey, mystery is solved-it was 252 Sqn who got the later (taxiing) Ar 196

I found the attached in National Archives HW5/397 (the image is a composite because the message goes over two pages).

P.S. I just noticed this one in passing while looking for something else, I have hardly anything else from either Greece or 1943.

Just to odd to Nick's post another ULTRA message in T.23/19(page3) gives 5 aircraft as total loss for Lkdo. SudOst on 4 Dec 1943: 1 Ju 87 Yugoslavia (FLFu Albanien ops area), 1 Ju 52 Albania and 3 Ar 196s Greece.

Thanks all-I can confirm 2 in the morning to 47 Sqn and one in the afternoon to 252 Sqn
