Re: eBay: Allied intrest

Hello,
For what it's worth, RAF Commands Forum's database has -
Tape with ER714
and
Glenwright with ER665.
Sadly the December 42 ORB is so faint it is hard to read, but from what I could make out for these two pilots there is no a/c serial number in the collem for them.
There is also a forum post that seems to suggest ER852 for Glenwright but I think that this is for earlier in the month ?
HMAW,vol 3 has on page 223
"British Casualties - 152 Sqn
Spitfire Vb - ER660 - Left 1425, Souk el Arba a/d patrol, shot down by Bf109s; PltOff. E,R,Gray Mia.
Spitfire Vb ER665 Souk el Arba a/d patrol, shot down by Bf 109s at 1410.
Spitfire Vb ER714 Souk el Arba a/d patrol, shot down by Bf 109s at 1410.
(These two flown by Plt Off G E Glenwright and Sgt W H Tape)".
"Fighters over Tunisia " has that it was a flight of four of 152 Sqn Spitfires as is noted on page 222 of HMAW vol 3.
There is a note in HMAW vol 5 that updates and corrections will be entered in Volume 6.
Alex
