Re: Walrus serial number?

Hello,
I also came accross the following.
W3047 - MkII - Engine failed on take off, nose dipped, a/c abandoned, sank off Dunnet Head,Caithness, Cat E 8.6.43 ( F/Sgt. Richmond RAF & F/Sgt. Platt RAF picked up by dinghy from "Royal") - per ORB, no serial given . Casualty card has F/Sgt C G Abel RAF OK & W/O F A McIntosh RAF injured.
Looks like the names and paperwork may have been mixed up if Richmond & Platt are replaced by Rashleigh & Platt and which were "picked up" ( could have meant that bodies were picked up) by dinghy from "Royal" and was she in the Med at the time and that the walrus serial was not recorded ?
Alex
