Wellington N2909

[andy wis]

Hello, Forumites
Happy New Year to all - fantastic knowledge you all have.
I am researching Wellingtons made at Weybridge. I have been looking at a site which has the AM Form 78 for Wellingtons. Unfortunately, it does not have a Movement Card for N2909. From the Air Britain books on A/c serials, it appears that the aircraft went out to the Far East. Does anybody know to which unit(s) that particular aircraft was assigned?
Many tia

Thank you Zoran. Apart from that Air Britain listing, do you know the Units after it went out to India/Burma?
