Re: 625 Squadron strength photo Kelstern 1944 & identity 625 Squadron Lancaster 'O'
Hi there,
If the picture was taken at Kelstern in April 1945, the Lancaster in the picture is ME524.She flew her first sortie 13-14/3/45 on Erin, and then a further eight to the end of March 1945 coded 'O'.On 5/4/45 625 Squadron relocated to Scampton,'C' Flight aircrew were posted to 576 Squadron and the remaining aircraft were all recoded as 'Squared', ME524 becoming 'O2'.As 'O2' she flew 13 more sorties, one abortive, to the end of May 1945.She is also listed as flying one 'Post Mortem' sortie in June 1945.
