The date for arrival in "Tak" is given as 4 April but then the date for Malta is 8 June - a long time between the two dates. "Tak" might be Takoradi - a port in Ghana and the start of a reinforcement route which saw hundreds of aircraft reassembled and flown to North Africa - and presumably on to Malta.

The other data indicates that it sustained Category A [slight] damage on operations on 17 May, then Category E [write-off] in a flying accident on 18 August. Total Flying Hours 68.25.
