Hi all, I am lookin gfor help with matching serials and codes of 23 Sq Blenheims in summer 1940. The squadron ORB is very vague mentioning only codes.
I am interested in following particular machines:
18.06.40 ????? „YP o L“
26.06.40 ????? „YP o E“ - possibly L8655?
20.08.40 ????? „YP o X“ other than L8687 lost on 18.6.40, possibly L6781?
26.08.40 ????? „YP o G“
30.08.40 ????? „YP o ?“ sortie carried out by S/Ldr Heycock
05.09.40 ????? „YP o H“
Any help will be much appreciated.
TIA
Pavel

Pavel,
Can you please confirm that L8687 was YP-X at the time of its loss on the night of 18/19.6.40?
Also looking for confirmation of the code of L1458, lost on the same night.
Thanks,
Andy
