One possibility is a very early Whitley loss:

15/16-10-1939
No.77 Sqn.
Whitley III K8947:KN-Q (not O, as in BCL1)
Op: Nickel.

Failed to return from Frankfurt. Reputedly shot down by A/A near Darmstadt, Germany.

F/L R WILLIAMS +
P/O J TISLEY - POW
Cpl A R GUNTON - POW
LAC R E FLETCHER - POW
Sgt J W LAMBERT - POW

See: BCL1 (rev.ed.)/83

Also take a look at page 4 of 583, of the above Harrington Museum site!

Could well be other "Q's", which took its place.

Hi
just curious

the photo shows a 'type C ' roundel which i thought didnt come into use until May 42

or did 41Sqn use it earlier in April ?

cheers

Hi al,

on these links are probably photos on same plane:

http://www.aeroscale.co.uk/modules.p...=219081&page=2

https://forum.keypublishing.com/foru...n-RAF-history=

Some info from the 1st link about roundel types:
The small roundels are the type applied experimentally to night fighters and 'C' type roundels did not start to appear until the middle of April 1942, but generally from mid-May. So there is nothing odd about the 'A' type roundels under the wings. The most sensible explanation for the small roundels on the fuselage would be that it was transferred from a night fighter squadron

….but this plane was just with this squadron:
