eBay: Allied intrest

[Buckeye30]

Hi Stig. Yes serial is on B24bestweb, no other details though; he's got 44-40459 as "Ain't Misbehaven" (with Vargas pin-up) 861 / 493 then 854 / 491 in Sept.44. The data panel is readable as 459.
Regards
Nick


EDIT. "SOXO 2685" is written under the side window so Eighth AF anyway.

(incidentally are you "Stig Jarlerik of Goteborg" who replied to Thomas Nilsson's article on Thulin in "Cross and Cockade" 14-1 1983 ? )

[Stig Jarlevik]

Aha

I should have the B-24 site listed somewhere. Don't know why I can't find it.

And yes I am the very same Stig Jarlevik (note the spelling) Rik mean rich in Swedish and is most
unfitting in case of me while vik means bay. Confess I don't look much that either but please
blame it on my father and his brother...
Jarl on the other hand was, in the old days, a title to a man very close to a King.
THAT on the other hand feels much more fitting

Cheers
Stig

PS: I have now located the B24 site. It was totally misfiled

#2 is of course the often-photographed Whitley N1377 of 102 Sqn, which force-landed at Spijkenisse in the early hours of 27 July 1940 while returning from a raid on Mannheim.
The crew was taken POW.

Any offers for the serial of Battle QT-L in photo 2 please?
Photos of L5503/QT-L, lost on 23 August 1940, show the aircraft with a different fin flash.
Could it be K9333, lost on 14 May 1940?

Hi Andy. The photos I've seen of these 2 show the same fin flash, over the whole fin and full height (ordered May 1 1940); as the back of Ed's photo says "St. Loup Terrier" (in Ardennes between Reims-Sedan) more likely to be K9333 shot down at Ecly near there on May 14. L5503 reported shot down 23/24 Aug. at Boulogne ( attacking harbour).
The tall fin marking was ordered reduced in height in Aug. but obviously not a priority to update.
