Markings and codes of Short Stirling units
 

Hello all,

I'm looking for markings and codes of British Short Stirling units.
I try to find out some claims of German nightfigters between 1942
and 1944. Maybe someone can explain me the marking practice
of the RAF? Where can I find out the units of RAF aircrafts?

Thank you very much and with kind regards,
Sven.

just put them on the board.

I will have a look at them, and I think others as well.

Hello Nick, hello Dennis,

great side, thank you very much. Now I look for an
Short Stirling of the 214. Squadron with the code C-BU.
I saw photos of this a/c which is lying near the sea, maybe
in Holland or Northern Germany.
Does anybody have details of this lost?

Thanks again and with the best wishes,
Sven.

217Sq operated Stirlings from mid 1942 till the end of 1943.

BU G R9326 11/12-6-42 Memmert island
BU C N3762 19/20-6-1942 De Driehoek (NL)
BU C W7560 26/27-7-1942 Westerdreichstric (D)
BU G BF478 23/24-5-1943 Engelsmansplaat (NL)

These are a few of their losses that I found. I'm sure this list is not complete. I've included BU-G as well.

Hope this helps,

Dennis
