Re: Boston Mk. III (W8318) radio identification letter
I'm not very good at Dutch geography, but I have one possible candidate for this Boston.
W8318 of 418 Squadron was lost night of 17/18 May 1942 on a mission to Leeuwarden. It may have crashed near Akkerwoude, but this is not confirmed. I believe this was the only 418 Squadron loss that night. Sorry, don't have the code letter.

Re: Boston Mk. III (W8318) radio identification letter
Hello René,
I've consulted the ORB of 418 Squadron quite a few times for some other issues and during that period individual letters and even serials weren't listed in the ORB IIRC. Regards, Hans
