There is a song my mother sang,
My mother sang to me,
She sang it as she tucked me me in,
When I was 93.
Spike, I thought you had a job.
Da – I have – each morning I row my mudder across the river.
Well, what’s wrong with that?
Da – I wish I had a boat – my mudder’s getting waterlogged.
Anything you say, which way did it go?
Bristol Brabagoon!
Not bad Dan, but it needs to lose the cockpit door. 🙂

Has to be ‘Down on the farm’ in the current issue, as I wrote it, despite them putting our curator’s name on it :rolleyes: Still, at least half the name was right. :

Thanks for the info. If he’s going to be in each prog, then how are they going to get around that one I wonder?

DazDaMan,
The code letters ‘DD’ were indeed used, but not between June 1939 and August 1941. So your squadron could have been coded ‘DD’ in the BoB, assuming they had a reason to be re-coded, i.e. transferred to another theatre- Middle or Far East before August 1941. So a ‘DD-M’ coded Mk I is on.
‘DM’ was used by 248 sqdn, Beaufighter & Mossie, June 1943- Sept 1946, in the U.K. So I’m afraid ‘DM’ wont do for your sqdn after June 1943. If you want to stick with ‘DM’ then you would have to say that your squadron had gone out to the Middle or Far East by then, or been re-coded for another reason.
Info from ‘Combat Codes’.
Have you designed a sqdn badge yet?
