First of all, DY574 is actually DV574. A Wellington Ic, this aircraft went straight from the Overseas Aircraft Delivery Unit to 215 Squadron. It was damaged beyond repair in an accident on the 2nd of October 1944. At the time of the accident the Squadron was operating from Digri.
Both ES985 and HX392 were Wellington Ic’s but I have no idea of the individual aircraft fates.
Incidentally, 215 Squadron was only at Asansola from the 14th to the 17th April 1942.
