Re: Informal loan of aircraft from one sqn to another 1940.

It was not unusual to borrow aircraft and pilots within a station. This way No 303 Sqn flew No 1 RCAF Sqn aircraft, when they were short of serviceable aircraft few times.
The example you are describing is more likely a case of gaps in movement cards, as I cannot imagine a commander giving away own aircraft without a paper trace. If found out it would inevitably end up in a court martial.
