85sqn Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Hi folks, just trying to help out a mate for a Tangmere related group build we have- any idea of the individual a/c code? FT-??? Was flown by Dennis Noble of 43 Sqn from Tangmere during Aug 1940. Thanks Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radpoe Spitfire Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 I wish I could help you, this is something I'd like to confirm myself as Sgt Noble is one of my local Few. I have a gut feeling (not helpful, I'm sorry), but I used the letter E on model, as he was from East Retford in Nottinghamshire. Whether the info can be found in public records at Kew or 43 sqn records is the only way I think may be helpful. Incidentally I worked with Dennis's nephew Rod -a fellow ambulanceman, until he retired. Rod is also a Retfordian, who has a very striking resemblance to his uncle.

Ossington 2 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 I have checked the digitised record on the TNA, in AIR27/441/16, the Record of Events. P3179 was his "normal " machine, though he did fly V7366 on 14/8 and V7221 on 23/8. Alas, all aircraft are recorded by serial number only, no codes. Can't find it listed in the usual suspects either (Fighter Squadrons of the RAF, Squadron Codes etc. Doesn't Tangmere have a museum? If they have a log book collection, or at least relevant BoB photocopies, it might be recorded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
85sqn Posted June 26, 2018 Author Share Posted June 26, 2018 Hi chaps, thanks for the reply. Yes Tangmere has the cockpit section and a display. We haven't unearthed any further details at the museum yet but thanks for the info on further a/c. I will pass it along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Engelsted Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Noble's log book is displayed at the Tangmere Museum. But it will not be very helpful as he only entered the serials or digits in it. John Engelsted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
