Re: 857 Squadron - Grumman Avenger - JZ 558 Question???
Hello Mark,

You may be confused

"P1" was the Squadron code for No 849 Squadron.

"W1" was the Squadron code for No 857 Squadron.

But if Peter has said that the code was "P1" then Roundel it could well be that the aircraft was on loan to 849 Squadron but still being used by 857 Squadron personel.
Then again it could just be that Peter recalls it so and that the side code was "W1" Roundel "P".

How did the Birthday go ?

Alex
