From the ORB Appendices

I can see he flew “K” to Tangmere via Andover from Filton on 28th November 1939? – Does he list a serial for this date ?

Your friend as NOK should be able to get a copy of his Service Record to confirm that he was on 103 Sqn in the time period, but based on all evidence I would guess that the

Boulton, R A : Sergeant : Lancaster III JB530 of 103 Squadron, 19-Feb-1944 / 20-Feb-1944. Crew

“Is your man”

His Service Number indicates he enlisted in the range 1610001 to 1649900 issued from Oct 1941 at Cardington

As it very late in range I would suggest it was towards 3 Qtr of 1942 and next range is

1860001 to 1869700 issued from Oct 1942 at Cardington

One Moggy with only 8 lives left

Anyway glad you OK and hope you get well soon
