Hi Jerry,
No joy with aircraft letter when with No.226 Sqn. Regarding the loss when with No.142 Sqn the Movement Serial Index was AK523 (pointless I know!) The Form E for the aircraft reads A Form "E" Serial No 48 B 14/10 C A.K.523 D CC.37 E 142 SQDN Battle 1 F Nil G Nil H 4 x 250 2 x 25 Incendiary J Nil K None from enemy action but see M L Nil M AK523 unable to locate target owing to adverse weather: A/C Crashed at Bampton after crew had abandoned. Crew unhurt. N Nil P 0555 Regards Ross |

Hi Ross,
Thanks for looking, It's probably one of the ones I will never solve, but I make a point at the start of each new year, to look at those long term problem ones I have. cheers Jerry |
