Thanks D D, you were right, Gibraltar was the destination. I now have the ops book from 511 squadron for the month and Gibraltar was confirmed as the destination. The ops book states that the day before on the transit flight from Lyneham, there were 6 passengers and just over 2000lbs of cargo, and so will assume this was the case for the onward leg to Gibraltar.

I also think that I may have a location for the wreck, which is 1 mile north of Portreath and not the airfield at Portreath. I am in contact with a marine archaeologist, who may be able to help further. I will update if I find out more…

Thanks for your help to date
