Re: RAF Bomber Command Group Orders

Hello Martin,

Thank you for your interesting observations. On my (enlarged) copy the number of - presumed - Lancasters with bombload B is actually 16 instead of 11 but... according to the ORB's of 61 and 106 Sqdn. a majority flew with bomb load A (14 SBC's). That why I am puzzled what the T-mark with number 16 under Part N means...

Unfortunately the ORB of 61 Sqdn doesn't specify details about the bomb load with one exception: Lancaster Mk.I W4236 had bomb load C, a 4000 lbs HC Cookie.

Well, I will order the other Group Operational Orders as well and send some prayers that these will disclose new insights.

Again many thanks for your thoughts and help. Best regards,
Marcel
