SUMMARY OF WHIRLWIND OPS BY AIRCRAFT |
No. 263 Squadron,
RAF |
|
This summary is prepared from
my transcriptions of AIR 27/1547 and AIR 27/1548, the Operations Record Books
for 263 Squadron, and covers operations flown |
by Whirlwind aircraft from
their introduction to their retirement from service. |
|
Date, pilot, duty, and times
are taken straight from the ORB. The details have been summarised to simplify
the document. |
|
|
|
Some important
notes:- |
The ORB sometimes contains
errors in spelling, names, etc. and I have no reason to believe that aircraft
serials are any different. |
|
This compilation is only as
good as my original transcription. While serials were probably the easiest to
check, there may well be errors in there somewhere. |
|
Some serials have not been
recorded. These operations together with any obviously incorrect serials have
been collected on the "Strays" tab. |
|
Some operations have not been
recorded. Particularly during June and July 1942, patrols and scrambles
during which nothing of note occurred were so frequent |
that they were not
individually recorded but instead summarised at the end of the month. See the
"Summary Jun-Jul" tab. |
