P.17,it's a Marauder(14 Sq RAF)?
P.143,a Lancaster (1656 Conversion RAF)?
It's not really what I'm looking for.

Michel, what you want re Q is on the actual page numbers 1 and 127. Both reports are the same except there is one report for each crew member.
Ignore Pages 17 and 143.

11 January 1945: claim by Lt Hans Vollet of 16/JG 5 for a Mosquito, west of Lister.
7 March 1945:Mid-air collision between two Mosquitos.
12 March 1945: one Mosquito and one Mustang claimed by JG 5. The Mosquito may have been claimed by Fw Adolf Lenz of 13/JG 5. Sources: E Mombeek: Eismeerjäger, volume 4 and H Sperrbund: Westküste, Slaget om Norge oktober 1944-maj 1945

I assume and I deduce that the mustang (19°Sq) is one of the two claimed by Heinz Kappler.

You need to purchase my book A Separate Little War by Grub Street Publishing its about £20:00
Has all the losses for the Banff Wing which you refer to:

O-Orange 235 was flown by my relative Sydney Hawkins (pilot) and Eric Stubbs (navigator) they'd previously flown missions with 603 Squadron in the Middle East
