Re: Spitfire, Mustang 'A.M. Form 78' cards
Hi guys,
I was aware that there are a lot of discrepancies in data for 205 Group bombers, but I was surprised to see that it is the very much the same for BAF/DAF Mustangs. Various sources, various results, as You can see: FB313 (AK-E) 213 Sqn, Balkan Air Force. Shot down while attacking train near Slatina 16.7.44. Pilot 2nd/Lt J. Moore returned later. HB851 (Ex 260 Sqn, Desert Air Force) 249 Sqn, Balkan Air Force. Hit the ground while attacking train between Zagreb and Varaždin 1.3.45. F/L Muir killed. HB888 213 Sqn. Previously flew in 5 Sqn SAAF, Desert Air Force. Hit the ground while attacking SM.79, Krepaja, Yugoslavia, 13.9.44. Pilot F/Lt Fairbairn POW. KH627 (GA-B) 112 Sqn, Desert Air Force, not BAF. Bombed a bridge near Sisak 18.11.44., and was shot down on that mission. Some said that it crashed near Rijeka (Fiume). KH861 (AK-J) 213 Sqn. Crashed near Karlovac 1.1.45., when F/O Ashley tried to return to Italy from attack on the railway line Zagreb-Varaždin. And Spitfires: PA866 683 Sqn. Lost on a mission to Trento 19.5.44. PA936 683 Sqn. Flew on a mission to Kotor, Mostar, Butmir (Sarajevo) 16.6.44. SOC 18.10.45. PA910 Coded 'B', 682 Squadron, San Severo, Italy VII.44-45. Possibly later in 40 Sqn SAAF. PA930 682 Sqn (previously 683 Sqn). Lost on a mission to Udine 23.3.45. EN658 682 Sqn. SOC 28.2.46. PL893 683 Sqn. SOC 26.9.46. Zoran |
