Re: Lancaster supply drop to Yugoslavia
I'm with Martin: 148 had 2 Halifaxes in the area on this date, and Occam's razor suggests we go with this unless other evidence crops up. The squadron did have few Stirlings, and were scheduled to convert to the type, but I don't believe these were used operationally - though some caution is required here, as the records are not necessarily 100% complete. They continued to fulfill the supply/personnel dropping role with their clapped-out Halifaxes until VE Day.
Incidentally, the 148 ORBs confirm that all their Halifaxes in the air on that day were MkIIs .
