Re: V-1 flying bombs
I have managed to match A/C letters with serials for quite a few of the Mossies he flew at 85 Sqn but not all.The MK.XIX he used for his last V-1 kill on 16th Aug-44 was VY-B (no serial found),all others were obtained flying MM636 VY-A.This serial appears in his logbook in connection with a "green endorsement" re. a single-engine landing during the night of 15/16 June.However,Weisteen has pencilled in the serial MM626 in his logbook.This machine was also on 85 Sqn at the same time as MM636,both transferring to the Swedish Air Force post-war,Swedish researchers have not been able to find what codeletters they wore when serving on 85 Sqn.My guess is as good as yours:Logbook or endorsement? I think I prefer the endorsement.
