Re: Unit's code of 248 Sqn Malta
Hi Many.
Beaufighter T5164 was still coded WR-O when shot down on 21 Aug. 1942 from Takali on a shipping strike; crew of Stanton and Bryson were POW.
T4843 WR-X is sometimes recorded at Takali on the same date BUT some sources say it was lost before then flying from the UK.
Both SHOULD have had Coastal Command colours.
248s aircraft were left on Malta for 227 Sqn. when they returned to England and they used single letters.
Salut......
Nick
