Aircraft Details Associated Aircrew
Id Service Number Name No. of Ops BQ-Code Other Information Web Links Name
F2 NG221 - - BQ-F2 According to Lancaster movement card Lancaster NG221 transferred to 550 Sqdn on 13.10.44
This is around the time of the loss of NG133 "F2" (14/10/44), so this may the aircraft being listed in the ORB as NG138 "F2" in the period after the loss of NG133 "F2". Nonetheless the ORB shows NG221 as "F" and "F2" in different places! At least one log book (F/Lt J Cassidy) records NG221 as "F". Therefore, the "F2 replacement remains somewhat unclear, but at this point NG221 is assumed.
