No point in entering as I don't know much about aircraft,


Besides not actually into modelling aircraft.

[Robert1968]

I'm gonna have a crack at this but my mind ain't wat it used to be


1 rear gunner


2 45%


3 I think it's either 141 or 142 but think one sortie was cancelled due to engine trouble


4 I think this is two pa474 and the Canadian one I'd letters escape me fo the time being


5 ATA I think was the auxillery ( air transport auxillery ) female pilots were involved in this operation to deliver aircraft to RAF units


I know it's just for fun so let me know how I did


Regards


Robert
