And would you say that it is a Warwick GRMkV of 179 Sqn, RAF, as used
for anti-submarine patrols in Bay of Biscay in 1944?

Yes.

No. 179 was the first squadron to be equipped with the Warwick for
anti-submarine work, and the aircraft that sank U927 was commanded by
F/Lt. Brownsill.


GIYF!

;-)


Not in this case. I used one of those things with lots of sheets of
paper covered in printing, which was standing on a shelf in a special
room in the house.


LOL! Yes, I've got shelves of those, which groan under the weight of
useful knowledge - but I'm not sure if I've got very much on the Warwick.
