Re: F/L R.B Lord of Squadron 183

I would say this is a typical case where we again can see how much more unreliable the ORBs are compared with the aircraft's recordcards

JR183 was in use by No 183 at the time. However it is known to have been transferred over to No 56 OTU and SOC 5 Oct 1946

MN183 had only one operational user, No 183 Sq and it was lost 8 Feb 1944

MN130 had previously been in use with two other users before transferring to No 183 Sq and shot down 26 Sep 1944 (i know you know that Chris, but your fingers seem not to have followed the instructions from your brain...plus C Thomas also wrote the 26th!)

I am not saying the record cards are the Bible, but if I have to make a choice I would almost always go with the record card and not the ORBs.

Cheers
Stig
