ORB of 340 Sqn - does it quote both the code and serial number?
Yes, the individual letter and s/n.

BS240 is a possibility, being later used by W/Cdr R.M. Milne at Biggin Hill
BS240 ? ... it is interesting it appeared on first 340 Sqn operation with IXs on 25/10, then 27/10, 1/11, 2/11, as "G". W/C Thomas isnīt mentioned.
Next ops on 6/11, including Thomas (with unknown s/n) shows BS247 as new "G" with 340 Sqn, and BS240 dissapeared. BS247/G participated on all another ops in November, mainly used by S/L Duperier. He previously (until 2-6/11) flew his brand new BS392 with nice nose art ... and could changed it on the same day when Thomas took over BS240. So, maybe bingo !
