Some possible corroboration: TNA AIR 24/908, AHQ Malta, ORBs with appendices (Jun 1940–Aug 1942), shows the following arrivals for 26 August 1942:
1 DC-3 from Shallufa
1 Bisley from Gibraltar
1 Wellington from Gibraltar
3 Hudsons from Gibraltar
8 Wellingtons had flown in from Gibraltar on the 25th and there were a few others during the month. It looks as if the only Wellingtons from North Africa were two on 11 August from Shallufa.
