Stirling NF-O
 

On a number of occations 138 squadron operated Stirling NF-O on missions to Denmark in late 1944. Can anyone tell me the serial number of that aircraft ?

Hi Soren,

138 lost 3 halifax NF-O's in quick succession in the early part of 44 oddly all on the same dates of the month i.e. 7/8 Feb, 7/8 May & 7/8 June.
They still had a Halifax NF-O flying on 11/12 Aung but by 28/29 Aug the letter had been assigned to a Stirling. Unfortunately the records do not have the serial number recorded (maybe on the Battle Orders but these are not in Kew).

Not a lot of help I'm afraid.
