Re: 96 Squadron Mosquito XIIIs
Brian,
The following info is from Chris Shores "Aces High" and "Aces High, Vol.2" with a couple of codes from John Rawlings "Fighter Squadrons of the RAF."
The serial is followed by pilot's last name and month(s) during which claims were made with the particular aircraft:
HK370 Caldwell & Ward Feb.
HK372 Mellersh June
HK376 Chudleigh July
HK379 ZJ-F Chudleigh & Greene July
HK396 Dobie June
HK406 Goode & Head March/July
HK415 ZJ-R Ward June/July
HK417 Green July
HK421 Bryan June/July
HK426 ZJ-V Crew Jan./Feb.
HK438 Dobie July
HK462 Caldwell & Head June/July
HK469 Chudleigh June
HK499 Gough March/July
MM437 Dobie June/August
MM438 Gough & Head August
MM451 Head March
MM452 Goode July/Aug.
MM459 Chudleigh July
MM460 Head October
MM461 Caldwell June/Aug.
MM468 Bryan July
MM479 Gough August
MM487 Dobie August
MM492 Head June
MM495 Dobie & Green April/July
MM497 Chudleigh & Parker-Rees June/July
MM499 ZJ-V Crew April/June
MM511 Crew & Parker-Rees July
MM524 Ward July/Aug.
MM525 Parker-Rees August
MM557 Goode July
MM562 Parker-Rees July
MM568 Green August
MM577 ZJ-N Mellersh June/Sept.
MM579 Ward July
One NF.XIII used by N.S. Head is listed incorrectly as "MK461" so this could be either "HK" or "MM."
According to the serials listed in Philip Birtles "Mosquito: A Pictorial History of the DH 98," "591" is neither an "HK" nor an "MM" and "NS985" is an F.B. VI serial.
Hope this is of some use to you.
Best wishes,
Tom
