FB355 "Mustang", "PK-K"

Thanks, but still strange that there is absolutely no reference to 315 Sqn (or indeed 316 Sqn) on the AM78. Home-based squadrons were usually quite good at keeping paperwork up-to-date.

Ah, in theory they shall be flawless, but in reality you can find lots of errors. Flawless are the ones for overseas as they are blank usually.

Are the details regarding FB355/PK-K and FB353/PK-H taken from the ORB?

Also interested in where the photo of FB353 can be found

Cheers

This is a compilation of multitude of records, like ORBs, Authorisation Books, loss reports, log books, photos, etc.

Thanks again Franek

Yes I realise something else than the AM 78 forms must be in play here.
Since I am one of those who prefers the AM 78 form instead of the ORB (if I MUST make choice... ),
I am in the case of FB353 interested in how the clerks could have missed out on two units (both
316 and 315Sq mentioned by you and Nick, so please what is the unit ID made from in this particular
case?
I am also interested in if the photo stated by Nick is available somewhere?

Cheers

....and you can read the RAF s/n?

I have since gone through my photo files and all I got is a pic of PK-H but the s/n is impossible
to read
