B-24 Load Adjuster

I just found this thread, shout if you need anything else, been a bit busy lately adding new content to the site.
I’ve also got a Bomb load adjuster in the collection, which I should really take some photos of and add something to the site.
Oh and thanks for the plugs Paul much appreciated 🙂

A few of those abbreviations from Ian’s post:

RoS Repair on Site. 67 MU operated in SW England so presumably it met with a minor accident at an airfield in that area.

AGT Airwork General Trading Co Ltd

IA international Alloys (I think)

TS522

Hi all

RAF Serial: TS522
US Serial / Model: 42-52712, B-24H-15-FO
USAAF Units: 832nd BS, 486th BG, 3R-D
Became ‘6G-P’ in 223 Sqn
Taken on Charge 20/10/1944
Movements and Events:
16/12/1944 – Cat AC
27/12/1945 [’44?] RoS (67 MU)

Not sure what all the abbreviations mean, but hope this helps.

One of the book’s appendices list 223 Sqn’s a/c sorties. I’ll try to provide a list of TS522’s later.

Cheers

Ian

I’ll be delving into the A-B book tomorrow and dusting off my 100 Group references. If only the thing could talk!

Glad to help, Ivor; just a question of having the right reference books! No 223 Sqn was based at Oulton, Norfolk Aug 44-July 45. I don’t have the Air-Britain book with the TS serials so I can’t look up its fate. If it survived the war it probably ended up on the huge B-24 scrap fields at RAF Lichfield.

Many thanks indeed for the identification and the speed with which you did it!

Phil Butler’s Air Arsenal North America about Lend-Lease says that
42-52712 became TS522 under a ‘theatre transfer’ to provide a number of suitable aircraft for No 223 (Bomber Support) Sqn. Its duty was Radio Counter Measures.
