My friend, Tony Tubbenhauer, RAAF, after flying Blenheims with 244 Squadron at Sharjah in 1942 and Baltimores with 203 in North Africa 1942 to 1943, was posted to 33 FIS, Norton, from January to March 1944. He has agreed for me to use data from his logbook, of which I have a copy.
He flew:
Cornells (which kept their Canadian serials) 15073, 15097, 15105, 15114, 15121, 15131, 15133
Oxfords X7317, BM170, BM827, BM785 plus others for which he only wrote the last three and which I have not yet tied to the full serial (maybe someone can identify them) 170, 237, 253, 342, 364, 367, 379, 445, 518, 930, 961
Harvard EX165
Tiger Moth DE553

He went on the instruct on Liberators after the war. He is still living actively in Queensland, age 92 tomorrow. Happy Birthday, Tony!
