| North Coates and Langham Wings strike 15/6/1944 | Hello, I'm from Holland and I am looking for information on a strike at 15/6/1944 above the frisian islands. I have an book called: The Ship Busters from Ralph Barker, in this book is a lot of information about the attack but I wonder if there is a possible way to find out more about this attack? The Coastal command striked many times above the frisian islands, is there a good book (serie) that will explain every attack? I will paste a part of the attack: "Some days earlier, a report had filtered through from the Dutch underground that a large convoy was preparing to leave Rotterdam for the B<span style="background:yellow">alt</span>ic, consisting of two new vessels which had just been completed and would be on their maiden voyage, the 8000-ton merchant vessel Amerskerke and a 4000-ton naval auxiliary, escorted by no less than eighteen smaller vessels. The disruption and chaos wrought amongst German rail and road communications prior to D-Day had forced the Germans to rely more than ever on their sea routes, so that the destruction of these two new vessels, almost as soon as they were launched, would represent an important contribution to the breaking down of the enemy's power to resist and to the shortening of the war. The advance information given by the Dutch resistance gave us the chance to plan a large-scale operation, the biggest of its kind so far. A new wing had been formed at Langham in Norfolk to deal with enemy shipping that might attempt to interfere with our invasion convoys, and it was decided to send two squadrons of this wing together with two of the North Coates wing, the whole to be escorted by ten Mustangs of Fighter Command. Of the four squadrons, three were to dive on the convoy and smother the defences with cannon and rockets, and the fourth was to come in at low level and aim torpedoes at the two new ships. The two squadrons of the Langham wing, 455 (Australian) and 489 (New Zealand), had done most of their earlier operations off the Norwegian coast, too far from base to allow escort by single-seater fighters" Best regards, Remy, ....Read More. | Remy on 13th November 2007 09:21:52 |

| Replacing Lost Medals | Hi Jon ,i think Stewart has just about covered,all you need to do,the only thing i could add was a rough guide for the replacement of the DFM,when i enquired at R.A.F. Innsworth some 7 years ago, was 109 pounds ,as long as the request was accompanied by a police report ,but if i remember rightly the replacement carried the Queens head and was marked (copy or replacement),but i'm afraid i can't remember for sure.My other tip would be to look for campaign medals at various auction houses or medal dealers if you want originals,<span style="background:yellow">alt</span>hough these have gone up in price,they are still readily available(it is a shame that they don't stay in the the recipients families)British ww2 medals were unmarked apart from gallantry awards .A word of caution if looking for Aircrew Europe Star ,these are expensive and subsequently a lot of fraudulent copies are passed off, so look carefully at this one.

| Malta Stations? | In reading through my grandfather's service record, I have found a few troublesome abbreviations that maybe the generous people on this board can assist with. On my grandfather's RAAF Form P./P. 83 (RAF Form 280) "Certificate of the Service and Discharge of" there is a series of postings with their associated departure authorities, date of effect and arrival authorities. There is the usual series of postings from the recruting centre, initial training school, EFTS, SFTS, embarkation depot, personnel reception centre, OTU, and then a series of operational squadrons/stations/commands, and a couple of hospital visits. However, the penultimate posting entry is as follows: Departure Authority - POR 1/43 Unit from which - Ta Kali, M<span style="background:yellow">alt</span>a Unit to which - I/C/W/T Station (the "I" is actually written as "l") Date of effect - 31.4.43 I don't know, and can't find, any reference to an RAF Station I/C/W/T, but it is obviously located on M<span style="background:yellow">alt</span>a. The date of effect is 5 weeks after commencing 6 months incarceration (his second period of such) on M<span style="background:yellow">alt</span>a.

| Malta Stations? | Almost zero chance of that Dick. But I can certainly see why you have proposed that. My grandfather, F/Sgt W.R. Irwin (Spitfire pilot with 229 Sqdn at the time), was convicted of stealing in Oct/Nov 42 whilst on M<span style="background:yellow">alt</span>a and sentenced to 112 days imprisonment and reduced to the ranks (AC1 in this instance). On release in late March 43 he stole again and was subsequently sentenced to a further 6 months detention (ending in late July 43 after earning 2 months good behaviour). The posting to I/C/W/T Station occurs around 5 weeks into that last period of incarceration. Adrian ....Read More. | AdrianR8 on 14th November 2007 11:10:29 |

| RAF/RAF OR Service Numbers | RFC/RAF SERVICE NUMBERS (Courtesy of Air Force Deaths site) At least until the 1950s, the service numbers of RFC and RAF personnel indicated the date and manner of joining the service. The RFC numbering system began at 1 in 1912, the initial allocations being to men who had transferred in from the Royal Engineers and subsequent ones to civilian recruits. The RNAS commenced its own numbering system when it became a separate entity in July 1914 - again commencing with 1, but prefixed by the letter F. When the RAF was formed, RFC men kept their original service numbers. However, as the RNAS numbering system had also begun at 1, all RNAS men inherited by the RAF had 200000 added to their original numbers, and the prefix F was dropped. All RNAS personnel were renumbered in 1918, including the dead. (RNAS squadrons had 200 added to their numbers). NCOs who were commissioned received new service numbers. In most cases all the numbers in a block were allocated; figures given in brackets indicate the highest numbers actually issued if the allocation was not total. NUMBERS LAST NUMBER DATE OF TO WHOM ALLOCATED USED IF BLOCK ALLOCATION NOT EXHAUSTED 1 to 515 1912 RFC: transfers and civilians 516 to 1013 1913 RFC - transfers and civilians 1014 to 2690 1914 RFC - transfers and civilians 2691 to 17400 1915 RFC - transfers and civilians 17401 to 39639 1916 RFC - civilians 39640 to 40300 Jly-Oct 1916 RFC - transfers 40301 to 45300 Jly-Aug 1916 RFC - transfers 47301 to 49300 Aug-Nov 1916 RFC - civilians 49301 to 49800 Aug-Oct 1916 RFC - transfers 49801 to 50800 Nov-Dec 1916 RFC - civilians 50801 to 51800 Oct 1916-Jan 1917 RFC - transfers 51801 to 52800 Dec 1916 RFC - civilians 52801 to 52950 52949 Dec 1916-Jan 1917 AID Examiners 52951 to 56950 Jan 1917 RFC - civilians 56951 to 57950 Jan 1917 RFC - transfers 57951 to 60950 Feb 1917 RFC - civilians 60951 to 61950 Jan-Feb 1917 RFC - transfers 61951 to 64950 Feb-Mar 1917 RFC - civilians 64951 to 65950 Feb-Mar 1917 RFC - transfers 65951 to 68950 Mar 1917 RFC - civilians 68951 to 69000 68997 Jan-May 1917 RFC - cadets 69001 to 70000 Mar-Apr 1917 RFC - civilians 70001 to 75000 Feb-Sep 1917 RFC - Canadians 75001 to 77000 Apr 1917 RFC - civilians 77001 to 77100 Jan 1917 AID Examiners 77101 to 79100 Mar-May 1917 RFC - transfers 79101 to 80100 Apr- May 1917 RFC - civilians 80101 to 80200 Apr 1917 AID Examiners 80201 to 84200 May 1917 RFC - civilians 84201 to 84400 84202 May 1917 AID Examiners 84401 to 87400 Jun-Jly 1917 RFC - civilians 87401 to 88400 Jly 1917 RFC - transfers 88401 to 90400 Jly-Aug 1917 RFC - civilians 90401 to 90600 Jly 1917 AID Examiners 90601 to 93600 Aug-Sep 1917 RFC - civilians 93601 to 94600 Sep 1917 RFC - transfers 94601 to 95600 Sep 1917 RFC - civilians 95601 to 95700 Sep 1917 AID Examiners 95701 to 98700 Sep-Oct 1917 RFC - civilians 98701 to 99700 Oct 1917 RFC - transfers 99701 to 100700 Oct-Nov 1917 R ....Read More. | Resmoroh on 14th November 2007 02:30:56 |

| German War Graves Commission | Hi Gary I don't if this helps but I have a list of non-commonwe<span style="background:yellow">alt</span>h airmen for whom CWGC accept responsibility.

| Bomber Command Night Reports. | Thank you Ross, I only hope RAFPMA comes up with the more sensible approach taken by Australia and Canada.

You know my interest is in Met Office wartime casu<span style="background:yellow">alt</span>ies, but that has no record of people at all. At one time personnel records were retained for 100 years before destruction and some of these would have contained extremely valuable historical information. However, during the late 1990s this all changed and apparently now no records at all are kept - full stop!

All MAOs were qualified meteorologists, that was one of the requirements before they were considered for the trade group. They were not training to be meteorologists on the conversion courses, but learning their position within the crew - as were all the others. I should add that the first five courses of MAOs were given basic training as air gunners and navigators. After that they were only given rudimentary training as navs but were expected to be sufficiently proficient to stand in for the navigator should he become incapacitated. So far as I'm aware just three MAOs were lost whilst training. As an aside the CWGC gives Crichton-Miller as being on 295 Sqn, and his headstone has him as a Flight Engineer - but that's all part of a remarkable story. Sorry that I can't help with a list of the VLR crews - not my area I'm afraid. Brian ....Read More. | Lyffe on 16th November 2007 07:42:03 |
