Marauders 12 Sqn SAAF



In the article in Aeroplane Aug 2020 Vic Flintham says that Marauders are Mk.IIs FB484/V, FB425/Z and FB439/C, but are Mk.IIIs and the photo is taken early 1945 (see upper wing roundel blue-white-orange), and at that time these were HD505/V, HD661/Z and HD608/C.

FB484/V Early-Mid 44
HD543/V Aug-Dec 44
HD430/V Late 44
HD505/V 45

FB425/Z early 44
FB463/Z (ex 'M' of 24 Sqn) mid-44
FB464/Z late 44
HD661/Z late 44-April 45

FB439/C 44
HD608/C 44-45

For example - raid on Dobova on March 20 1945
HD505/V Capt. Harvey
HD661/Z Lt. Stewart
HD608/C Capt. Spence
