Re: 39th Beaufort Squadron in Malta.

Hello all,
the best way to search orbs is http://www.rafcommands.com/database/air27/index.php

And to Stig:
N1100 was at Bu Amud IV.42, (listed as 1100) and flew with 39 Sqn, crews were from 22 Sqn on at least one occasion.



DE111 There is a profile (could be wrong caption). Confirmed as 'V' in 47 Sqn, as late as IV.43 at Misurata West.
DD928 I-III.43. Coded 'C'. FTR from the evening attack on the convoy near Sicily on 12.3.43., the same as bellow.
DD934 I-III.43. Coded 'C'. FTR from the attack on naval convoy near Palermo 13.3.43. That was evening mission 12/13.3, hence difference in dates. 'C' and 'N missing, and 'A' DD943 was also badly damaged.
DD936 Crashed into the sea near Sicily on an anti-ship patrol on May 16, 1943. Also probably coded 'N'. Summary says that 'N' was missing, but no serial. 'V' DD940 searched, but with no results. Monthly records are dark and serials unreadable.
