Re: US 82nd BS Mitchells at Tingley, spring 1943

Hi Mikkel. Not very detailed but these are the March 1943 operations by Theatre. The B-25s were from the 81st and 82nd BSs which were transferred temporarily to Twelfth AF in Algeria in February to support the RAF; the other 2 squadrons remained with Ninth AF in Libya. The 2 squadrons were at Berteaux but they had detachments at other fields.
Note the B-25C or D in the photo in Ninth AF Sand camouflage (the Spitfire is actually a Vb). 232 left Tingley on March 16, to Souk el Khemis. The 7 airfields there were named after London landmarks, 232 was at "Victoria".
You may be able to find something in the 12BG sites.
