RAF Ferry Command deliveries - begin of July 1942

Hi all,

I am trying to establish aircraft delivery (serial + crew) from Canada to the UK which would fit the following timetable:

arrived Gander (1 July) - left Gander for Reykjavik (3 July) - left Reykjavik for the UK (4 July)

So far I was able to check the book "Ocean Bridge" (not helpful in this particular case) and RCAF Station Gander ORB which stated:

1 July
Arrivals:
2 Venturas
2 B-25s
2 Liberators
all en route tho the UK

Departures:
3 B-25s, 1 Ventura and 3 Liberators for UK
2 Venturas for Iceland (1 returned)

3 July
Departures:
3 B-25s and 3 B-17s for UK
1 Ventura for Iceland

So my preliminary conclusion is that I am looking for a Ventura, probably of AE or AJ series (?).

Is there any source which would help to establish the serial(s) at least?
I was thinking also about TNA:

AIR 28/653
PRESTWICK
1940 Dec. 1941 Feb. -1945 Dec

but I am not sure if the serials of delivered aircraft are stated there.

Any help much appreciated.

TIA

Pavel
