Hello Henk,

Yes you are quite correct Beaufighter MM867 , 415 NFS James M. Hanson, LeVallon, France (Y-18) date for which I now have is 16/9/1944. Then later on the 9th April 45 at St: Dizier (A-64) with Robert H. Watt.

A second name for 9th April 45 is 1Lt. Terrence S. Hall. ABMC site (25 BG)

Hoover's Mossie was MM752.
