Hello,

********Updated List********


I'm after as much information about any of the following aircraft as possible please.
Better still would be photographs. (all dates in UK format) -


1) Dakota C-47, 42-93525, 321st Transport group. lost 21-10-44
2) Lancaster I RF150 424 Squadron. Lost 4/5-4-45 - Research complete - only photo required
3) Blenheim IV, R3912, 13 O.T.U. Lost 5-7-42
4) NA B-25 Mitchell, FL193, 13 OTU. lost 21/09/1043 - Crew research complete - Only plane data needed.
5) Spitfire Mk1a, X4773, 9 MU, lost 16/11/1940 - Only Squadron coding/lettering needed.
6) AW Whitley V, LA831, 81 OTU. lost 14/7/1943 - Only Squadron coding/lettering needed.
7) Arado 234, W/Nr 140589, 8/KG76, lost 09/03/1945 - Only Squadron coding/lettering needed.
8) Fairey Swordfish Mk1, L9716, lost 31/07/1940 - All information about the aircraft including Squadron coding.
9) HP Halifax LK901, 1667 HCU, lost 08/11/1944 - Only Squadron coding/lettering needed.
10) Ilyushin IL-2, No: 1071973, Red Air Guard, lost 08/07/43 - All information needed.
11) Curtis P-40K, US Serial:42-10083, Soviet: Unknown. - All information needed
12) Supermarine Seafire, SR611, 1832 FAA, lost 23/04/1950. - This one was built on 19/06/1945 so I still class it as a WW2 aircraft even though it wasn't lost until the 50's. Any clues to what it was up to in 1945 would be helpful plus any wartime pictures.



Basically the above I have relics from and will need to model and document much history about each as possible.
The key bit of information I need for them is the squadron codes and any relevant technical information about each one.

I have around another 20 that need research.

Help appreciated.

Cheers Chris

Tracker, great info. I now have the illusive QB-W squadron code from your info so thanks.

Cheers Chris
 
Agree with David. If the rain keeps me off the golf course this week as the weatherman has promised, research will give me something to do.

I might even start some more research myself now that England have well and truly messed up my World Cup watching schedule.

I've still got around another 20 I need info for so if you get extra bored Geo let me know.

Cheers Chris
 
Nice one Geo, I will amend the first post later today.

I currently have 37 relics from different aircraft crash sites and am resisting the urge to add more based on not being able to keep on top of the research and corosponding model builds. I think there are a couple, my Russian P-40 and shturmovik being the main offenders, that I just won't be able to find anything out about.

Cheers Chris
 
All right Chris, the easy one first....

Perfect , I've never seen a code with a number as the second character.

Nice one.
 
PATP - would the "packed" part of that denote that it spent wartime in a crate? Could make for an interesting build lol
