Hello,

No.541 Sqn, May 13, 1943
No. 542 Sqn April 4, 1943 (…perhaps April 5).
Thanks a lot beforehand for your assistance.

Best regards,
Frederic

You are welcome Frederic.

May I ask your interest? Is it the "PRU" or Bourges A/D?

Cheers

Hi Andy,

I have two lists (From the National Archives, Washington D.C.) about Recce missions onto the Bourges and Avord airfields, France and I try to find the involved units. I already split up missions carried out by the RAF and USAAF 7th PRG (So…I hope to not have made mistakes!). Often it is not very easy because I have only a date and this kind of indications about the sorties: 17-6-44 "Intrep No.63".

So, before asking questions on TOCH, I try to find the involved Squadron before. Once again, thank you for your assistance.

Best regards,
Frederic
