David.
Thank you.
I wouldn’t have thought 76 were much different to any other main force squadron would you..?
They operested Merlin powered Halifax aircraft for a long time and suffered consequent losses.
Many of these three and four group squadrons (and others) suffered terrible losses and were often far away from the glamour of PFF or even Cochrane’s private air-force (sometimes also known as the 5th Airforce).
Even today the Lincolnshire Lanc groups get the lions share of media coverage.
A grim war I often think.
