Serial Needed

[Bruce Archer]

Hi All!

    I am looking for the serial for Tomahawk IIa of No.26 Sqn, coded RM*A in early 1942. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated

 

Thanks!

 

Bruce.

Hi

 

My knowledge of the variations in designation of the early Tomahawks is not impressive but, as far as I can see from the Air Britain lists, 26Sqn had just three IIAs AH887, AH893 and AH903. There is a bit of information around that indicates during 1941 and 1942 aircraft 'A' was usually flown by F/Lt E F P 'Sam' Wheller. In the 26 Sqn ORB there are no records of operations in 1942 so no records of serials  but at the end of 1941 Wheller is recorded flying AH893.

However, against that the IWM has AH893 / RM-D and AH896 / RM-Y as IIAs in this shot, with AH791 / RM-E as a I.

Some years ago a friend of mine was searching for RM.C, his wife's initials, but had no success.

And I'm hoping to discover an RMoS, either Tomahawk or Mustang.
