Re: Reading EAW "Ted" Smith's book Spitfire Diary and ask
This was probably when 127 moved to the UK (Fairwood Common in S. Wales) from the continent on 21 Feb. 1945, delayed by bad weather; this was No. 11 Armament Practice Camp and they were there for a gunnery/bombing/ etc. course and "rest" ("what a break" as they had been on fighter-bomber duties). Returned to Holland on the 17 March, most sorties until their disbandment on 30 April being armed recces. with the other squadrons in the Wing (66,322,332).
