Hello Andy,
Serial must be either "R"; "T" or "X". From the AB series books could only find - T3310 - 272 - 25/8/41. X7570 - 25 - 25/8/41. X7612 - 25 - 25/8/41. X7612 - 141 - 26/8/41. Your a/cmust have been returned to service ? All for now Alex |

Hello Andy,
Could it be this one you seek ? http://www.rafcommands.com/forum/sho...rmen-24-8-1941 However if it was a Beau then a 1c it would have to be a "T" serial. If the date is uncertain there are two 236 Sqdn Beau Ic a/c T4668 - Flaps failed, crash landed Carew Cheriton - 20th January 1942. T4788 - Engine cut,undercarriage collapsed in heavy landing Carew Cheriton - 6th January 1942. Alex |
