Yep, 19 pilots with each squadron and adjutant/Intelligence officer with each. The Wing consisted of 21 officers - Engineering, equipment, intelligence, medical as well as other support officers at Archangel on on board HMS Argus.

This is why the 39 Hurricanes was interesting - one pilot had to fly two aircraft over from Keg Ostrov.

The only pilots/families I could not find were 'Binnie' Barnes and 'Griff' Griffiths of 134 Sqn and 81 Sqn intelligence officer - Kennedy (from the West Indies).

regards

Mark
