Don't forget Daz, all Squadron ORB's (if present) can be downloaded for free at the moment from the TNA website.

You can still view the preview, which although lower quality, can still yield answers, assuming the logo doesn't obscure the bit you are interested in. I went through about 50 different squadron's wartime ORBs that way, only purchasing the bits I couldn't read. This was pre-covid and the quota of free downloads.
I bit expensive otherwise as my research requires viewing almost all the UK based Squadron ORBs. Just passed the 250 mark in 2 years! Still a way to go.
I have checked the National Archives and the ORBs for the abovementioned sqn appear to AWOL. If anyone has copies I am particularly interested in the period Dec 41 - Feb 42 and the postings in and out of NZ402998 Sgt Herbert Hadfield; a WOp/AG. Regards, Terry
PS. Apologies for lower case in title!
