Re: RAF Ferry Command deliveries - begin of July 1942

AJ213 was piloted by a Danish pilot

25.06.42 Gander-Montral
29.06.42 Montreal-Goose
01-02.07.42 Goose-Reykjavik
04.07.42 Reykjavik-UK

He was flying AE782 on the same route from 9.6.42-24.6.42.

Information from his crew card at DHH.

Re: RAF Ferry Command deliveries - begin of July 1942

Interesting Mikkel

You mean August and not July for your final two lines.
Strangely enough, my information says it was AJ231 and not 213 which arrived.
Can you just check the finger trouble is not on your side, please

With regard to Ventura AE782 it is not in my lists at all and checking where it went it was to SAAF. As far as I know all their aircraft delivered by air went via the mid-Atlantic route into Accra and from there south bound. Seems very odd that AE782 should have gone via Prestwick.

Can you check please??

Cheers
Stig

Stig, sorry, actually it's June for the forst to lines. July is correct. That may explain the difference in information.

Re AE782, I have sent you an e-mail.
