Re: Beaufighter VIc JL725 unit affiliation in 1943
Beaufighter VIC JL725 flew with No.235 Sqn and No.132 OTU.
235 Sqn was coded LA: Blenheim IV L9324 LA-P, Beaufighter I R2269 LA-A.
236 Sqn was coded FA: Blenheim I L6875 FA-G, IV T7942 FA-J; Beaufighter I T4724 FA-A, then ND: Blenheim IV V5432 ND-A; Beaufighter I T4827 ND-N, VI X8060 ND-E; without code 1943-44: Beaufighter VI JL824 Y, X NE193 H; coded MB 1944-45: Beaufighter X NV171 MB-V.
Coastal Command's Sqns discontinued use of codes (mid 1943), used numbered codes for some time (at the same base: lowest numbered sqn-1, next-2. and so on) and full codes again 1944-45.
