Do you have these two Bill, from my new Halifax book...?

F/Lt Davidson of No. 35 Squadron and flying Halifax HR897 and coded TL-F...(suspect this being a misprint, as I can't find a HR897, the series block is 832-879). This makes TL-F a B/GR Mk. II.
Sgt W. Davidson of No. 158 Squadron and flying Halifax B Mk. III LK834 and coded NP-E...
