Hello to all

According to this thread on RAF commands forum: http://www.rafcommands.com/forum/sho...rmen-22-7-1941,

both Mieville and Moss were members of 55 OTU RAF, a fighter operational training unit.

If someone has the diary of this unit, more details may be available.

Hello Phil,
The link to the RAF Commands Forum thread started by Henk was in my opinion the correct result.
I did when I read your post, check the Air Britain Serial number books.
I found the following -
AB RAF Serial book L1000 - N9999, page 194.
N7570 - 610/222/610/55OTU - Dived into sea low flying 1/4 mile off Grangemouth. 22.7.41.
