One more sortie: 16/0216 with just two missing frames. 3009 4027 And my map: [attachment=150] Regards Wojtek
Hi Wojtek, Well done on finding these two single frames, especially with so much cloud cover. I am curious about 3009; what was the target of the bomb strikes? Can you post a GE finder chart of the exact location please? Thanks, Pat
Hi Wojtek, No, I have neither squadron's ORB, but I'll get you copies of both tonight from TNA (if they have them scanned). John and I are also going to upgrade you to 'Researcher' status for the very fine work you are doing on these sorties. This upgrade will give you access to our 'Green Room' library of resource documents, including squadron ORBs. Can you also email Kevin in NCAP to let him know 16/0216 is now completed? Thanks again, Pat
Hi Pat, Thanks for answer, I have sent a message to NCAP (ncap@rcahms.gov.uk) one week ago. There were ca. 50 my 'unlocatable' find. They did not answer yet. This is my list which I sent to NCAP: 680/0051 4082 http://ncap.org.uk/node/734525 US7/0108/B 4113 http://ncap.org.uk/node/669917 3126 http://ncap.org.uk/node/670345 D/0605 5001 http://ncap.org.uk/frame/1-1-16-3-1?search=archive/1-1-16-3&free-text=yes | 5005 http://ncap.org.uk/frame/1-1-16-3-5?search=archive/1-1-16-3&free-text=yes Sortie: 16/0444 from 12 June 1944 3013 http://ncap.org.uk/frame/1-1-2-12-13?search=archive/1-1-2-12&free-text=yes 3014 http://ncap.org.uk/frame/1-1-2-12-14?search=archive/1-1-2-12&free-text=yes 4013 http://ncap.org.uk/frame/1-1-2-12-35?search=archive/1-1-2-12&free-text=yes 4014 http://ncap.org.uk/frame/1-1-2-12-36?search=archive/1-1-2-12&free-text=yes Sortie: 16/0064 from 25 April 1944 3044 http://ncap.org.uk/frame/1-1-2-6-44?search=archive/1-1-2-6&free-text=yes 4044 http://ncap.org.uk/frame/1-1-2-6-271?search=archive/1-1-2-6&free-text=yes Sortie: US33/0565 from 06 June 1944 5027 http://ncap.org.uk/frame/1-1-74-1-27?search=archive/1-1-74-1&free-text=yes | 5034 106G/3334 3035 http://ncap.org.uk/node/760573 4084 http://ncap.org.uk/node/760575 4092 http://ncap.org.uk/node/760577 683/0630 4233 http://ncap.org.uk/frame/6-1-14-1-440?search=keywords/683%252F0630&free-text=yes | 4245 http://ncap.org.uk/frame/6-1-14-1-452?search=keywords/683%252F0630&free-text=yes N/0902 4284 http://ncap.org.uk/node/763083 4285 http://ncap.org.uk/frame/6-1-5-4-434?search=archive/6-1-5-4&free-text=yes 4286 http://ncap.org.uk/frame/6-1-5-4-435?search=archive/6-1-5-4&free-text=yes 4293 - next to [Heinrichsruhe; Schleswig-Holstein; Germany ] http://ncap.org.uk/frame/6-1-5-4-443?search=archive/6-1-5-4&free-text=yes - ships can be in the east [4287-4292] ? Now I have a few more frames, but I am waiting till they upgrade website Regards Wojtek
Hi Wojtek, Thanks for the update. The NCAP guys can be busy at times so they might take a little time to respond to you. However, you can be assured that they are very appreciative when people take the time and effort to track down these 'un-locatables' for them - they just do not have the time or resources to do it themselves. As a member with 'Researcher' status you now have access to the closed 'Green Room' area (once logged in). While the ethos of this Forum is very much one of openness to all comers, there are sensitive issues such as crash site locations which are best not made public - hence the 'Green Room'. Regards, Pat
Hi Wojtek, No. 16 Squadron's ORB (Forms 540 & 541) for June is now in the 'Green Room' Library: Researchers 'Green Room' Area / Resource Files / RAF Squadron Operations Record Books (ORBs) I'll get you No. 400's ORB in the next day or so. Regards, Pat
