Miscellaneous Information
Note that the ORB incorrectly states the aircraft serial number as ED420 and this is borne out by the F78 Movement Card, both of which are incorrect. The F78 for ED520 is also incorrect in stating that this aircraft was lost on 2nd February 1943. ED420 was in fact lost from 463 RAAF Squadron on Christmas Eve of the same year. |
