Re: W/Cdr L.S. Ford - CO 402 RCAF Squadron - ORB 4 Jun 1943

All sources point to the fact that AA980 was lost during the afternoon on the 4th.
All to often there are mistakes in the ORB. In this case we have a clerk who simply assumed the same pilot of course would use the same aircraft during the afternoon as he had done during the morning.
Your own theory sounds very plausible, and if Graham actually went along on the mission, he then must have used a different aircraft, which then went unrecorded.
In cases like this I doubt very much the aircraft's record card is at fault.
