Sea Fury 738 Sqn RN, Lossiemouth

[dambuster]

I am looking for some serial/code combinations for Lossiemouth based Sea Furies of 738 Sqn RN during the early 1950’s. There are several combinations available for aircraft when the Sqn was based at Culdrose and carried the CW tail letters, and also some for Sea Fury T20 at Lossiemouth with the LM tail code. The Sqn moved from Culdrose to Lossiemouth in 1953. A look in my references and on-line doesn’t provide any conclusive results for FB11 aircraft carrying the LM code.

 

Does anyone have any definitive information, or should I assume that when transferred from Culdrose to Lossiemouth it would only have been the tail letters that changed?

 

Thanks

Try 'Fleet Air Arm Fixed-Wing Aircraft since 1946' by Air-Britain, 2004. Lists at least six FB.11s and two T.20s with full 'LM' codes.

I had a look in my copy but could only see a T.20 with Lossiemouth codes. I’ll have to look again!
