Re: Battle of Britain Squadron ORB accuracy
Jon,
In short, the answer is 'Yes' to all you said. But don't be too quick to dismiss the ORBs entirely for they are only as good or as bad as the squadron scribe at the time they were compiled and, by the way, they are usually all we have. Some can be total nonsense on occasion (No. 610 Squadron is a good example), many others are less than reliable, while a few (No.609 Squadron comes to mind) are real gems. In my experience they are best approached with complete objectivity - if you consult them expecting full and immediate confirmation of some self-fulfilling prophecy you will normally be disappointed.
