British aircraft histories

Is there a site to find the histories of certain Lancaster's such as for the Spitfires in Shacklady's book?

TIA
Andy

Re: British aircraft histories

Andy,

Try the Lost Bombers website

http://www.lostbombers.co.uk/results...&submit=Search

Also there are the Bomber Command Losses books by William Chorley and Air Britain books giving the fate of each aircraft by serial number.

If you let us know what date the aircraft was lost or its serial then it will be easy to look up.

Re: British aircraft histories

They weren't lost in his occupation of the cockpit, damaged yes. June to October 44 he flew, all 35 daylight missions. Im hoping the that JN-D was still HK601 in 75sqn service 1945. He flew these (hunting photo of any of them)
JN-W HK563
JN-K LM104
JN-Z ME752
JN-F HK554
JN-Y LM544
JN-V ND911
JH-P HK597
JN-X ND801
JN-Y NF981
JN-K NF980
JN-D HK601

Thanks
Andy

Re: British aircraft histories

Generally, when the same aircraft code letter is repeated, that's due to the previous aircraft with that letter being lost (or rarely, transferred to another Squadron). HK601 does not show up as a loss.
