Re: 90 and 214 Squadron operating in Algeria and Italy ?
Steve could this be the 6 Stirlings and crews detached for "Special Duties" on Dec.9 ?
A log book ( F/O K. Forester flight engineer 90 Sqn.) refers to attachment to 138 Sqn. (SD) at Tempsford, then to Italy-- Brindisi to Blida delivering containers presumably for partisans in the theatre. I've seen reference to them delivering Polish saboteurs and equipment while attached to 138.
Havn't seen anything on 214, ORB or other.

Nick
