Deciphering RAF Movement Cards…

Can anyone help me decipher a movement/accident card? The place is stated as ‘River Severn M.R.V.P 0213’. The aircraft crashed during exercises after failing to pull out of a dive so I am wondering if this is referring to a specific RAF firing range?

Any help would be really appreciated…

Hi Ross,

You are spot on with the card and serial number. Do you have any idea the area that this may refer to? I think that I can just about make out Gloucester on the 1180 form (large enough area though!!!). Do you have any other info on this particular accident?

Hi Dave,

If this is the Form 1180 for JR212 I have assumed it is the Rocket Projectile Targets for the Range.

MRVP does not fit with the Modified British Cassini Grid as a map reference.

Ross
