Ah the Fog of War! Where am I, where have I been, where am I going? Known and unknown knowns (or unknowns?). The Log Book as an aide memoir is a boon, but as sole memoir it certainly has its limitations. I'm sure we'd all find similar anomalies if we tried to emulate your example Danny and give a detailed account of our flying career in a sequential day by day order. I can only admire the tight rein you have held thus far on your movements, and movements they suddenly are! 500 miles away from the coast and deep inland to the west of Kohima. A very different scene which is suddenly full of menace. I can't wait to read the next instalment. What a cliff hangar!
Edited to add that for those with Google Earth I think that "K" airfield (now named Silchar Airport) is at 24°54'42.98"N 92°58'38.37"E and ironically NE of Kumbhirgram, which in turn as Danny says is NE of Silchar! Good business for the local cab drivers!
