Nick, thanks for the source info.

According to the serial lists I've seen, T5161 and T5165 were Mark VIc Beaufighters. The note I have in my files says that the latter, at least, was on loan from 227 Sqn. I am away from home at present and so don't have access to my books but this may be from Malta: The Spitfire Years. This also may only be my interpretation based on the Air Britain serial number book.

Regards,
Tom
According to data I compiled from various sources T5107 (227 Sqn), T5153 (227 Sqn), T5161 (89 Sqn), T5163 (227 Sqn) and T5165 (89 and 227 Sqn) were left on Malta from 248 Sqn (Det) in Sep '42. T5165 was coded U in 227 Sqn.
Zoran
