Re: The blue PRU Spitfire PR.XI shot down Nijmegen 20 Sept1944
Very puzzling
On one page the ORB states for 20.9.1944
A completely duff day, only one sortie was flown, and so on, and so on.
No losses are mentioned!
On the other page you show at least four missions on the 20th with the two losses listed.
Are you sure the pages are from the same ORB?
If they are the ORB seems totally unreliable to me....
Finally, I have no idea if the RAF aircraft record cards are at Kew or not. I have always supposed they are, but you have to ask someone who knows.
Cheers

PS: I now see that for some odd reason one part of the ORB list the four sorties to have taken place on the 21st while the other record them on the 20th. Again not very trustworthy....
Also why this 'double book keeping'??
