Hi, sorry to resurrect this old thread, but the information is fascinating and the pictures are superb.
My interest is from the St Mawgan angle, and I'm trying to pin down exactly what date, and how many aircraft passed through there.
My understanding from above is that all 16 aircraft passed through Mawgan on the 8th (A Flt) and 9th (B Flt) of July.
They then returned on 25th August, leaving there for Graveley 28th, with only 15 aircarft due to the one u/s through the accident.
However the last post seems to offer different dates, and the fact that at least one other Lancaster (perhaps the whole flight of 8?) didn't pass through Mawgan on the way home at least?
Can anyone here confirm the dates at St Mawgan and the numbers of aircraft please?
Also I have a picture of 7 Sqn Lancasters at Mawgan in the same scheme, would these have been used to build up the 35 Sqn numbers to 16 aircraft, or just coincidental visitors?
Thanks in advance
