Thanks Mike and Roger. I also read that ML407 is an ex308 frame would I be correct in thinking that?

308 Squadron, as you probably already know, were based for about six months at Baginton (Sep, 40 to May, 41) for protection of Coventry and the industrial Midlands.
Several members of the Squadron are buried in the local churchyard, including three that apparently ran towards a descending parachute (at night?) not knowing it was a air-mine.
I think the local Polish community have a memorial ceremony in the churchyard each year.
Try contacting the Midland Air Museum who should be able to furnish more details of 308’s time at Baginton.
There is also an ATC Squadron based at Baginton – No. 84 (2nd City of Coventry) Squadron if that’s any use.
Roger Smith.
