Re: 331 sqn EN786 FN-T
I have been wondering about the fate of the aircraft. Morgan & Shacklady as well as www.spitfite.ufk.net list the aircraft as lost / Cat E on 31 Oct 42 / 1 Nov 42, but still at 331 Sqn. But the 331 Sqn. ORB list the aircraft as operational for the last time at 9 Oct. 1942 in the hands of Birksted. Furthermore the ORB reports that the squadron is operational on Spit IX on 14 Oct. 1942.
Norman Franks FCL 1942 list the aircraft as lost to a JG26 Fw 190 in the hands of F/O Galway on 31 Oct 42. Galway is attached to 453 (RAAF) Sqn. I suppose, therefore, that the aircraft is actually transferred to 453 Sqn., but that this might not have been noted on the movement card. Or that it was not officially transferred to this squadron before it suffered Cat E damage. Any comments to these theories? Mikkel
