Re: USAAF Teletype codes Query
Quote:
On several prints, message was adressed from Pinetree to all Bomb Divsions HQ and Fighterwings and always is same order : OIBMP OIKHI OITHE OISFW OISAS OIWTH As last three are (in My opinion) 65FW, 66 FW & 67FW in order, it seems likely that OIMBMP = Brampton Grange 1BW HQ , but then I struggle a bit with 2BW & 3BW. OIKHI might be Ketteringham Hall 2BW HQ. OITHE is a mystery, if theory is right this could be 3BW HQ at Elveden Hall but abbreviation does not closely resemble to this.. Only thing I can think of is town nearby : Thetford OISTP, do agree with Steeple Morden.. Think OIWTM could very well be Wattisham As for OIHAK, hope you don't mind I'll put a ? with Hardwick.. Only reason for this as I believe this airfield did not had a FG based in Dec1944. Closest I can come up with is Halesworth, but problem with this is letter K not present. Do want to thank you for the suggestions made, really appreciate it. Regards Joost Last edited by joost900; 26th April 2012 at 22:38. |
