405 Sqn Halifax LQ-O "Good to the last drop"

[dfuller52]

I have just seen a photo of this a/c on the Group 6 site and I am wondering if it is Halifax HR915. Can anyone tell me if they know whether it is the same plane that was lost on 31 Aug 1943 on a raid to Berlin?

Hi David,

If you mean this one:

then no, as the serial for it is given as W-1096

Regards,

Oops, thanks Dave, I overlooked that page. On my way home after posting that, I wondered if a Squadron Leaders' plane would be decorated that way.
