We will shortly be entering a new section on aircraft flown by these squadrons, similar in format to the RAAF Article VX entries.
Any details on the aircraft flown by these units, infromation or photos you have will be appreciated.

The Vickers Wellington will be first then I will add other aircraft types as a "test shot" to get the pages up and running and any additional infromation received can then be added.

Aircraft under this section will include:
Buffalo - 488 Sqn
Hurricane - 486, 488 Sqn
Sptifire - 485 Sqn
Typhoon - 485, 486 Sqn
Tempest - 486 Sqn
Beaufighter - 488, 489 Sqn
Mosquito - 487, 488, 489 Sqn
Blenheim - 489 Sqn
Beaufort - 489 Sqn
Hampden - 489 Sqn
Ventura - 487 Sqn
Catalina - 490 Sqn
Sunderland - 490 Sqn

If you are interested pm me and I will send you the current information I have (on an excel sheet).

I also hope to include a reference section as these is so much information out there both on the web and in books. These need to be acknowledged.
Anyway, drop us a line if you wish to help.

Cheers
Tony

Thanks Tony,

The Wellington research looks great.

The ever resourseful Gordy has also chipped in with some info on RNZAF Brewster Buffalos.

I'll set to and start turning these into new pages on www.nzdf-serials.co.nz.

We're off to a good start.

All contributions are welcome.

Brendan

Thanks Tony,

I'm working on producing the page at the moment and will include these two types.

Also, to cover 75(NZ) Sqn, we should also add the Wellington, Stirling, Lancaster and Lincoln.

Can anyone point out any others that we have missed?

Any squadron hacks or captured types?

Cheers

BC
