Re: Sgt. Toombs Larry

larry, I have to agree that what you suggest makes sense. MP may simply be a typo for NP. NP-K was lost that night, LW635, so another misread could be X (not 2 NP-K's!!). That's what there was and I assumed (never assume!) that this might be a 158 Squadron Flight being set up to form another Squadron and carrying different codes, which was a frequent practice in Bomber Command.
Thanks for spotting both typo's.
