Re: Operation Bergbang - 6 Sep 1944 - paradrop Belgian SAS
I checked the ORBs of the four squadrons Zoran listed and the only aircraft that stood out to me as a possibility is 299 Squadron 5GF serial EF323.
From the F541:
Captain: F/O J.E. Nichol J. 24271.
Duty: Licencee 1 S.O.E.
Time Up: 21.50
Time Down: 02.30
Details: France. Successfully dropped 24 Containers and 3 Packages on D.Z. used Map reading to identify target Not an accurate drop, because of single engines Aircraft overhead with Nav. lights burning. Weather poor no action.
(Spelling/grammar/punctuation as in F541.)
