Re: Blenheim Mk I K7050 of 12(P)AFU on a night exercise 10/8/43.
Graham Warner in Bristol Blenheim Edition 2 only lists the Pilot
I found out recently that when 12 Sqn in later 1929's converted new Pilots to Fairey Fox, they ALWAYS flew Solo for a set number of trips before they the aircraft was fully crewed - I assume to limit the risk of multiple casualties on a fresh pilot with a new aircraft
After a series of tests were completed, the pilot and aircraft flew with crew. I wonder if the same was the case at P(ADU) units
I.e get Pilot familiar with aircraft solo, before adding the others
