Oh, excellent, NigG ... thanks for your efforts there.

I tentatively post before Danny42C, but I can't help noticing several references to large formations (21, 24, 24, 36). I wait his input with interest.

My eye was also caught by:
"P/O Gabrielson thrown out of aircraft ‘U’ " (I assume from the rear cockpit?)
"... ordered F/O Ellis, gunner, to standby to bale-out."
Given the minimalist armament in the back of the VV, this seems an expensive way of manning it. Would Danny42C elaborate on that aspect, please?
