From 78

Duh. I shoudlnt’ watch TV at the same time as ding this! You should get the form 78 or movement card for your aircraft from RAF Museum Hendon. This should give you a clue as to where your kite was posted to and when stuck off charge!

61 sqn ops

The sqn ops records are notoriously inaccurate. Unfortunately this is also true of Harry’s book which has clearly not been proof read with care. You have to corroborate your evidence with as many sources as possible. Books, other researchers, veterans and forums etc. Also look at Station record books, raid reports, night fighter records, combat reports, biographies.

The ops records AIR27 often miss out ops, put ops in which an a/c never did and keep aircraft flying long after they had bee shot down. Often second dickie ops were not recorded etc.
