Re: Stirling NF-O
Hi Soren,
138 lost 3 halifax NF-O's in quick succession in the early part of 44 oddly all on the same dates of the month i.e. 7/8 Feb, 7/8 May & 7/8 June. They still had a Halifax NF-O flying on 11/12 Aung but by 28/29 Aug the letter had been assigned to a Stirling. Unfortunately the records do not have the serial number recorded (maybe on the Battle Orders but these are not in Kew). Not a lot of help I'm afraid. Bob
