Here’s a scan from my copy of The Beaufort Files by Roger Hayward.

Hope this helps.

My paper references and the web sites quickly consulted for confirmation all seem to point toward No. 15 OTU as a Wellington equipped unit 4/40 to 3/44 with codes EO (only until sometime 1943), FH and KK.  

After all the fuss on a Spitfire thread very recently when the initial reply went off on an innocently mistaken tangent, hesitant to post this in case I am too am making an error of finding something other than what has been requested!

Have spotted that No. 5 OTU were equipped with Beauforts.  Perhaps “Airfield” could quickly confirm his question?
