a shot in the dark, i/d needed for mossie HP137
Hi All,
I am trying to decypher an old MU log, It has a mosquito HP137, coded B (roundel) 3, it seems it would have been summer 1944, south west UK. Anyone any ideas on the correct serial ? If any help it occurs before wildcat JN582, but after spitfire BM512, cheers jerry

Could have been HR137, possibly 235 squadron, Coastal Command
HR118 was coded 3 - W in 235 squadron. Apparently, numbers were used instead of squadron letters, between August, '43 and July '44. I also found HR138, code 'Y' belonging to 235 sq Last edited by wellss; 26th December 2010 at 12:03.

Hi
Many thanks for the suggestion, 235 Sqn was at portreath at this time, so HR137 looks like it fits in real well, for some reason i never thought of coastal squadron codes. Looks like another mystery entry cleared up for me, I must post a few more 'serials' on the boards. cheers Jerry
