Hi Alex

I can offer K7938 KW-T (April 1940); N2304 KW-R (April 1940-May, returned to UK). Not much, I'm afraid.

Cheers

Hi Alex, Brian

Thanks for the additonal info. I have the Mason book, with all the serials. I hoping that someone somewhere may have access to 615 Sqn pilot logs that may have the details I am looking for.

It's a long shot but that's how I was able to tie up all the Tsetse Mosquito serials to their code/letter.

Hi Alex

As you are well aware, not many of these veterans still around - main hope is that logbooks have been donated to Hendon, or that offspring can be located who may have the logs. Probably many were lost in the evacuation from France. Tony Eyre's logbook is at Kew - have you seen it? Of course you know that Mason was incorrect in his assertion that 607/615 Gladiators shot down aircraft in France after 10 May. Anyway, I will keep an eye open for you. The North-East Air Museum (? Sunderland) has a collection of material relating to 607 Squadron including photographs - maybe they can be of help.

Cheers
Brian
