Is there by any chance anybody on the forum who has a copy of the ORB's for 1651 and/or 1657 Heavy Conversion Unit? I am in particular interested in the outgoing posting of these units for April 1943. I am looking for a crew which is buried at Rotterdam, but of whom is not known where they were trained before they were posted to the Squadron they flew with until they were lost on operations to Duisburg. But we believe it must have been one of these HCU's as there were a lot of crews posted to the squadron from these units at that time. Thanks a lot in advance!
Hi Pieter I have 1657 CU October '42 - January '44 if you can post mre details i'll check whats on it though the CU ORB;s dont contain a great deal of info like the Sdq ORB's Dom
Hi Dom, Thanks a lot for your offer to help me. The crew we are looking for is: Sergeant E. G. Bass, Sergeant F. G. Salter, Sergeant K. G. Roots, Flying Officer R. F. Kingham, Sergeant J. G. Newall, Sergeant R. D. Evans and Sergeant D. B. Sach. They were posted to 149 Squadron.
