Hello Adriano
Thanks for the pointer, No I've not got the book in question, however it is now on order. There is a
French site that does list all of the glider sorties flown on the night of 5/6 Jun with 'One Night in June' as its sourse. Most of the details seem to be taken from the 38 Group Glider Raid Reports, the only Sqn 540 annexs that have these reports on microfilm at Kew seem to be those of the Tarrent Rushton units (298 and 644) The Orne bridge glider tugs were
298 Squadron - Halifax V
LL355 ‘G’
LL335 ‘K’
LL278 ‘T’
644 Squadron - Halifax V
LL350 'Z'
LL344 'P'
LL218 'N'
These are the ones I'm most interested in at the minute, however due to the size of the 2 squadrons, they had multiple squadron codes (8A (A Flt)or 8T (B Flt) for 298 and 9U or 2P for 644 Sqn). To make life even more interesting some of the Halifax V's at Tarrent Rushton had dual letter codes (KK is one that springs to mind, seing that its in a photo of the aircraft lined up for Op Mallard on the afternoon of D-Day (cannot make out the serial of KK on the photo though). Thanks to the 38 Group Reunited site, I'm sure that LL218 was 2P-N and I've found a couple of other codes for both Squadrons. Two books I was hoping would help are Ospery's Halifax Squadrons of WWII and the Warpaint - Hailfax and Halton, however every attempt to buy the later on line has ended up with 'out of print and out of stock'.
Cheers for the link however.
Regards
Richard
