During a fruitful day at TNA I took notes from most of the squadron ORBs. The results are provided below (aircraft and pilot) for anyone looking for this information in the future.
Unfortunately I didn't get time to cover the Mosquito Squadrons. If anyone has any information on how they would have been involved in the spoof raid it would be great to find out.
