Re: 1. & 3./33 on 23 August 1942.
According to a contact from 3/33, they moved from Russia to Melsbroek to reform/rest in Jan 42 and from May to Nov 42 flew over the UK from Paris-Orly. Following the Allied invasion in North Africa, they then moved to Bordeaux and then Montpellier. They flew coastal recce missions at dawn and dusk from Portland to Dover and in and around Great Yarmouth (operating from Schiphol for the latter). Normally 3 missions AM and 3 missions PM subject to serviceability. I have nothing for 23 Aug 42
