Re: Which stories behind these photos?
This Anson displays early war type thin fin flash circa June 1940
An MK code on this Anson is a distinct possibility -
MK was used by 500 Sqn on Ansons in WW2 until April 1941. they were based at RAF Detling, Kent at this period in time.
217 Sqn also used MW codes on Ansons flying from St Eval in Cornwall.
As 500 Sqn was heavily involved with patrols for Dunkirk I think it is this Sqn as 217 Sqn was covering the Western Approaches watching out for U-Boats at this time.
The only other Operational unit with Anson using an M code was 278(ASR) Sqn which used MY - but that was in 1943
