Ah! One of the record cards that were stolen in the 1970’s prior to the mass microfiche for the RAFMus 😡

I transcribed this card at AHB circa 1971 and have:-

43 Gp. D.A. 23 August 1941.

So not 43 Squadron, not 43 MU, but I suspect 43 Group of Maintenance Command. The D A may stand for Deposit Account – aircraft held by storage unit.

That makes sense Mark. No.222 moved to North Weald around 18th August 1941 and started to re-equip with the F.VB (e.g. AB910) so it would make sense for P8332 to be transferred to the Group Deposit Account prior to moving to AST for a well-deserved overhaul.
