Hi Graeme.

DZ383 flew mainly from Benson. The first op with the Squadron was on 15 Jan 43. It did however fly from Leuchars on 27 Jan 43.

DZ383/M had seven sorties from Leuchars in July 1943. From Aalesund in Norway to Gdynia in Poland. Ref: AIR 15/760 Photographic reconnaissance: record of operational flights and AIR 25/429 18 Group apendix.

Posting one page from 18 group apendichs (AIR 25/429) to show what information these gems hold.
