Not sure if anyone is aware, but have a look at www.wospweb.com, specifically http://www.wospweb.com/site/RAF-Broa...chardslogs.doc

This appears to be a partial copy of the F540/541 for 512Sqn on the night of 5th/6th June. The discrepancies are...

1) In the text description of the operation, it mentions 32 aircraft took off in stream. The above list is only 30 aircraft long.

2) KG377/S is listed on the F540/541 between FZ656/K and KG368/Y. This aircraft isn't on the above list.

3) KG348 is coded K1, not K.

Also, I'm not sure what order either list is in. The wospweb list states crews and takeoff and rtb times, and they aren't in t/o order. I wonder it's Chalk Number Order?

Cheers,
Malcolm
