Re: Typo Code "P4853" in BoFTaN 82 Sqn 17th May 1940?
The loss card for the Newbatt crew states P4893, but this serial was not used, as it is in a serial break. It would appear that this has been recognised by several authors and rationalised to P4853. But as you observe this was involved in a fatal accident in September 1939. A better fit is P6893 and a look through AB RAF aircraft P1000-R9999 confirms an 82 Sqdn loss 17th May 1940.
