Wellington & Halifax Ops in the Far East
I should have mentioned 1577 Flight RAF was a Trials & Transport Flight, which carried out transport and glider towing tests from 5th October 1943 until disbandment 1st June 1946. The Unit also had a few Lancasters.
A second Halifax unit, 1341 Special Duties Flight RAF was sent out to India in January 1945 to investigate Japenese Radar but it was not until May 1945 that the Flight was ready at Digri to commence Ops.. It then became 1341 Radio Countermeasures Flight in July 1945.
