Hi all,
Unable to get to the PRO for a few weeks.
Does anyone have copies of the ORBS for 242 Squadron during the Battle of Britain. I am particularly interested in finding out which particular aircraft Joce Millard flew whilst he was with them briefly during the Battle.
Cheers in advance for any help

Cheers Edgar,
Unfortunately I don’t have access to his log book either as the period covering his attachment to 242 had been stolen from it some years previously.
Thanks for your assistance which is much appreciated.
Best wishes

No, I had to check the microfilmed copy, at Kew; apart from the postings, I couldn’t find any mention of his name, at all.

Cheers Edgar,
Do you have copies of the ORB?
I am aware of the dates of his postings but wanted to see if he is mentioned in the squadrons records.
Best wishes

Millard was posted in, from 1 Squadron 17-10-40, and posted out, to 615 Squadron, at Northolt, 3-11-40; there’s no record of him taking part in any patrols, at all, between those dates.
