Hello.

On the 1st september, released from operational state to allow the transfer of aircraft and personnel to North Weald, two Flamingo's and a DH 87 from 24 Sqn. arrived to tranfer airmen and small kit (dixit form 540) and left at 11.30.
Afterwards a change was made by Cdr V.F Beamish DSO AFC, Commanding officer of Noth Weald.
Only the pilots of 249 Sqn. will come with their Hurricane to relieve the very tired pilots of 56 Sqn.

The Hurricane of 249 Sqn were equiped with the old Tr9 HF radio not suitable in the 11 Group operations. So the pilots of 56 Sqn. returned to Boscombe Down with the kites of 249 Sqn. The Hurricanes of 56 Sqn. with VHF Radio were used with their Codes (US-.) by 249 Sqn. pilots until the 5 September.

In the morning of this day the GN codes began to be paint on Hurricane of B Flight.

In the afternoon, Flt Lt Barton led his Blue section in his Hurricane V6625 always coded US-K he attacked probably A Dornier of II/ KG 2 but he was attacked by a Bf 109 E. He baled out Safely. He was avenged by Sgt Davidson (P3667/ US-?)

A little info on 15 september Sgt Palliser Got a Do 17 probable with P3615/ US-G.

Have a nice day.
