13 Sqn Lysander list - info needed
 

Hiya all,

I have a list of 13 Squadron Lysander's that served with 13 Sqn, during Apr-May 1940. I know most of these were left in France, and only 3 returned to the UK. Any information, anything at all when they were S.O.C etc would be great to add to this list.

Regards

Danny

Very interesting

What is the source for 13Sq operating
L4814
N1261
P9059
T1556
T1601 (as far as I can see this was a black out serial)
T1624

I can't see that any was used by 13 Sq at any point.

Cheers
Stig

Stig,

I agree.

I can confirm L4812 is the closet serial to be recorded in Sqn ORBs as being flown in France 1940.

Cheers,

Danny
