Hi Chris,
I'm a bit confused (I'm only a simple Brummie). Are you saying he flew the 1000th mission of 2.(F)/123 on the 07Nov43. As you know he rx'd the DKiG 08Sep42 with 1.(F)/120 and I believe left the unit sometime in 1942 and became St.Kap. 2.(F)/123 on 01Jan44. I've no idea what units he was with in between these dates so any additional info would be much appreciated.
52500 BRT sunk, 44500 damaged isn't too bad a tally for a recce unit!
Cheers
Andy Fletcher
