Halifax HR859 was from 51 Sqn, not 61 Sqn as listed.

The entry for Mosquito HR526 says 1 FU/45, SOC 28.3.46
However, there is a photo of it on Page 90 of our "Scorpions Sting" (the history of 84 Sqn).
It is sitting with many others at Seletar, captioned as being November 1946 in "the scrap yard".
The photo clearly shows that it was coded PY-B, which is an 84 Sqn code....

Wellington HX488/Y of 40 Sqn was lost on 22 August 1942. Took off 1940, crew (all safe) baled out 5 miles south of Ras Al Kenazio at 2240 after suffering engine problems.

With thanks to Chris Semmens for his post on AB-IX, two more corrections:
1) HF546 is an incorrect entry and should be deleted - it has same data as HF567
2) HF305 appears twice, the second record duplicating the data for the next record HF306.

Updating the entry for Proctor III HM314, it was involved in a mid-air collision with Master II DL114, as recorded in the entry for that aircraft.

Correct
Claimed by 13./KG 40 and Oblt Dieter Meister at 12.07H
The Halifax which towed it (DG396) got away.
Cheers
