Re: RAF Bomber Command Group Orders

Dear Martin and Rod,

Thank you both for the interesting (and perhaps promising) answers. The Group Orders I have come from AIR 14/3096 and in the enclosed picture you can see that the entry about the desired bomb loads for the Lancasters of 61 and 106 Squadron leaves room for speculations about what actually have been carried to Duisburg...

Now that I read about the chance that the other AIR 14 files mentioned could contain such Group Operational Orders too, my hopes have revived to find clues about the number of 4000 lbs HC Cookies carried by 61 and 106 Squadron of RAF Syerston.

Many thanks ! Very grateful !

Marcel
