    On the subject of great Battle of Britain books, was this title ever reprinted? I can only find references to the 1st edition (Jul 1989) by Gliddon & 2nd? (Sep 1999) by CCB Aviation books

    Thanks
    Dave

    Air Britain Crash List in Aeromilitaria only detail crashes on land

    Thanks Paul – I should’ve realized that!

    Hi Paul/Ross,

    Thanks for the additional information. The Form 78 simply shows W9179 as a Cat E on 27-Mar 1943, but form 1180 confirms that W9179 crashed into the sea at 04:43 with MACFADZEAN as pilot. MACFADZEAN’s son is in the process of requesting his service records which may confirm more, but I’m satisifed MACFADZEAN was flying W9179 and his association with W9184 is a mistake

    I have the Northumberland Aviation Diary and Air Britain Aeromilitaria Summer 2009, but not the AB “W” Serials hence my confusion as to why W9179 wasn’t mentioned

    Cheers
    Dave

    P.S. Happy to fwd the forms to you for reference. P.M. if interested with email address

    In addition to above I suggest taking the PATH train to Hoboken, birth place of Frank Sinatra & some great bars in a nice town. The Cake Boss also has his store here (google it!)

    Aviation
    Take LIRR (Long Island RailRoad) to Westbury then 5 min cab for the Cradle of Aviation Musem on Charles Lindbergh Bvld. This is next to the Nassau Coliseum where the New York Islanders (NHL) play if Ice Hockey is of interest & much easier to get ticket for than NY Rangers (MSG)

    Enjoy!

    No problem, I’m also investigating where I got the info from in the first place.

    For anyone interested, the website in the stages of a MAJOR update. The info regarding our Bell/Sioux has been corrected (a website is only as good/acurate as the information provided!)

    Thanks Icare9,

    I’ve managed to get a record of his 97Sqn ops, but this doesn’t cover his training @ Turnhouse or service after 97Sqn (last entry 27/10/1942).

    Thanks

    Alex,

    When reforming at Acklington in 1947 92Sqn used ‘DL’. They didn’t adopt ‘8L’ until 1950

    Thx

    Thanks Lee,

    Much appreciated. I don’t suppose you know the transfer dates between units by any chance?
