Re: Typhoon Attack Letter?
Austin, I fear you have a bit of an uphill struggle here. 1 squadron operated around 77 Typhoons during its 20 months with the type and I have managed to locate codes for 34 but unfortunately not JP498. The 1 Sqn ORB will not help as it records serials not code letters. IWM does not hold records on individual aircraft. The only hope is to locate pilots logs who flew with 1 Sqn at the time and recorded letters - which can then becompared with the serials in the ORB to establish the tie-ups. Exceptionally you might find a pilot who recorde letters and serials.
There is an outside chance that the information may exist on the casualty file but those are not in the public domain. A letter to AHB might eventually yield the information but it might be a long wait as they are in the throes of a move from Bentley Priory to Northolt.
