Hi Stig!

For John Brodby's last flight:
— 20 Sept 1944 is taken directly from 16 Squadron ORBs (and 16 Squadron Roll Of Honour held at IWM London concurs)
— PL896 is taken directly from 16 Squadron ORBs

Very keen to know the provenance of the information in your post.
Unless you can reference more authoritative sources than this, surely the working assumption has to be that:
— all other dates for his death are wrong
— PA893 and all other aircraft serial numbers are wrong

Thanks!
