SUMMARY OF WHIRLWIND OPS BY PILOT
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 I have done my best, there may well be errors in there somewhere.
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.
