Peter William Olber Mould received his DFC for shooting down the first German aicraft over France in WW 2, a Do.17 on 30th October with No.1 Sqn.

Might I ask if you have copies of the logbok for the full time at 55 OTU and the pilots name. It would be good to tie it up with my 55 OTU records

I have copies of the ORB for 55 OTU, but not sure if they cover August 1941. I will pull them out and have a look

We have some of the oldest roads, thats what the Romans did for us

We also have trains and airports.

Its not as expensive to visit as people think and we are known for our hospitality

There is an interesting photograph in “The Burma Air Campaign 1941-45” by Michael Pearson which shows the Motor Transport element on the Magwe/Meiktila Road.

It is credited to Ronald White of 152 Squadron

There are also a couple of photos in the new Osprey Aircraft of the Aces book

“Spitfire Aces of Burma and the Pacific” by Andrew Thomas

“Air War for Burma” by Chris Shores has a photograph of the squadron pilots.

And finally Spitfire PS890 from France flies in 152 squadron markings

There were seven aircraft flown to Prestwick and then transported to Spadeadam

c/n 5336 FT-01 to Prestwick 05/11/79 to Spadeadam 13/03/80
c/n 5337 FT-02 to Prestwick 05/11/79 to Spadeadam 10/03/80
c/n 5525 FT-06 to Prestwick 05/11/79 to Spadeadam 19/03/80
c/n 5527 FT-07 to Prestwick 12/11/79 to Spadeadam 28/02/80
c/n 5996 FT-10 to Prestwick 12/11/79 to Spadeadam 07/03/80
c/n 5993 FT-11 to Prestwick 05/11/79 to Spadeadam 14/03/80
c/n 9092 FT-29 to Prestwick 12/11/79 to Spadeadam 18/03/80

As to why one would now have the data plata for c/n 9111 is a mystery

The only other possibility I can think of is if one of the aircraft has been repaired using c/n 9111 as a donor

Both FT-02 and FT-10 have had CAT 4 repairs by SABCA in 1958/59. Also FT-01 has a CAT 2 incident in 1969 and could also have been repaired using a donor airframe. So perhaps c/n 9111 did not go to Turkey but went to Belgium.

Its surprising where things lead the company behind the aircraft now make washroom cubicles as part of the premdoor company. I wonder if they may have any archives

This is from the premdoor website

The base for Premdor’s cubicle division operating under the brand name of Hills Cubicles & Washroom Systems. Hills roots go back as far as 1849 originally supplying quality joinery products to the Durham mining industry. The business literally ‘took off’ in the 1930’s with the production of the ‘Hillson Praga’ aeroplane, and this was followed with further aircraft production during World War II.

After the war the Hills joinery business really expanded and, a range of cubicle and washroom systems was developed and launched in the early 1950’s.

Now, our research and development teams have brought this ethos right up-to-date creating products for use in a variety of environments including office, retail, leisure and education projects.

Albert,

Do you have a photo of the aircraft as there is a big diffence between Saudi (G-CDHB) and Kuwaiti (G-CFBK) markings.

This was discussed sometime ago.
