At Kirkenes on the 30/7/41, the Albacore crewed by Sub-Lt RD Head, Lt GM Haynes RAN, L/A J Madeley, was damaged by anti-aircraft fire. Could someone please look up the serial number? Thanks!

The serial number is not given in the FAA book you mention. One possible reason is that as '5H' suffered only minor damage to the upper wing nobody bothered to record the serial.

Thanks for the look George
