Re: Trying to find 249 Sqn Hurricane code.

Hello Ro,
Good news re "US-K" if the refs used for the code confirmation is correct then it may well be that the codes and a/c letter had not been changed by the 5th. Can this be checked out ?
"Aces High , vol 1" has -
15 Aug 40 through to 24 Aug a/c "N".
2 Sept a/c "K".
S/D in a/c "K" on the 5th Sept.
27 Sept 40 a/c "T"
Another (?) "T" on 4 Feb 41.
Followed thereafter by a/c serial numbers.
"Aces High vol 2" has -
15 Aug 40 a/c P3055.
2 Sept "US-K" , V6625.
11 Sept P3579.
15 Sept V6693.
27 Sept V6729.
29 Oct V7538.
So
15 Aug = "GN-N" = P3055.
2 Sept = "US-K" = V6625.
27 Sept = "GN-T" = V6729.

Question is - would the ground team have had V6625 and re-coded her by the 5th to "GN-K" or perhaps time to just remove the "US" code?
Alex
