611 Squadron - News: Joe Morsheimer's Story

FTM127....I had come across your father's name in connection with the BOAC Curtiss CW-20 St Louis which carried him back to Gibraltar after the first ferry...did he leave any description of the flights back? I got the chance to read the BOAC movement charts for May42 and the St Louis left Gibraltar 1502 ( 16 May), arr. Malta 2045 (flight MG?3) .....dep. Malta 23.15, arr.Gibraltar 0603 (17May)(flight MG5) ....St Louis made subsequent flights back from Malta to Gibraltar on the nights of 29/30 May, 2/3 June and 7/8 June, the latter I guess in parallel with your father's Lodestar transport.
I'm guessing the top general link may be relevant for other readers
