Dear Mr Haselden
I wonder if you could help me with a query concerning Brewster Buffalo W8245, please? I know that this a/c was frown by Sergeant Gordon Williams, and was later flown to India, but I was wondering if you knew of any other 67 Squadron pilots who may have flown this aircraft?
Looking forward to your reply.
Regards
Jonathan Hall

Dear Mr Haselden - hope you don't mind me contacting you, but a while back I messaged you about pilots that may have flown a particular Buffalo (W8198) NF-U of 488 Squadron, and I cannot find the post any more, which is a pity. I do know that John Mackenzie and Jim MacIntosh flew this aircraft, but was wondering if you knew of any other pilots that flew this particular a/c? Unfortunately (and understandably!) the ORBS of 488 Squadron appear to have gone AWOL for that particular time period.
Any help much appreciated.
Kind regards
Jonathan Hall

Jonathan,
Apologies for the delay but here's the info I have about W8198:
Joined 67 Sqn from 151 MU on 23 May 1941. 67 Sqn pilots who flew her included:

Transferred to 488 Sqn on 8 Oct 41. 488 Sqn pilots who flew her included:

Hope this helps a little.

Hi Mr Haselden
Thank you very much - this helps a lot! Don't know whether you remember, but I did contact you once to say that the BBMF Spitfire (P7530) was once flown by Colin Pinckney - the ORB for 603 Squadron (September 1940, I believe) does confirm this - if interested, you can access this online, but the online copy is pixelated - you would need to pay £3.50 for a clear copy to be e-mailed to you if you are a member.
Cheers
Jonathan
