My “project” of the last 16 months has now come to an end. You can read the final blog post here: http://broodyswar.wordpress.com/2014/09/18/the-end/

I hope those of you who have read this blog have enjoyed it. I’m going to take a bit of a break now as I have some studying to get on with, but am considering expanding the site to include more information about 488(NZ) Squadron in general.

Plans at the moment are:

A google earth “KML” download of all the Squadron’s UK based victories (aircraft only, no trains!)
ORB transcription – probably only the diarised monthly happenings, but I’m happy to X-Ref any particular flight / pilot / plane information from operational flights on an ad-hoc basis
Transcription of Personal Combat Reports

I’d love to know what you guys think of this and what other things you’d like to see included.

Thanks for your support and feedback over the past year.

Cheers,

Adam

70 years ago today, 488(NZ) Squadron suffered the loss of Squadron Leader Dudley Hobbis and Pilot Officer Oliver Hills

I’m not sure they ever sell for £90 but I have seen a few recently with a “Buy it now” in that order. There was one a couple of months ago listed for £130.

Just thought I’d point this listing out as an opportunity for a 488 Sqn enthusiast to have a crack at getting this book for a reasonable price.
