The serial of F/Sgt Pridgeon's Lancaster was definitely "W4956". W4756 fell within a black-out block. W4956 was on it's 1st op, it only had 13.00 hours up on the clock.
The No.460 Sqn RAAF ORB F.540 (p.401 of 965), correctly identifies the Lancaster as W4956, but the F.541 (p.437 of 965), incorrectly refers to it as, W4966. Whatever the coding (AR or UV), the individual letter was "J".
