Valiants and Comets in the Black Sea: 543 and 51 Sqdns

In my research on 543 Squadron Valiant operations; there has been some reference to the work done in conjunction with 51 Sqdn in the Black and Caspian Sea region. I'm searching for anyone from 51 Squadron Comet C.2 days who can tell me about some of these operations from the 51 Sqdn perspective. if you can help please get in touch.

if you're not already aware of it, I recommend the SpyFlight Website which has much information (all from open sources,so no risk of the Tower ) on such things.

Thanks very much. I've had a look at Spyflight. Very Interesting! But I'd sooner get it from the horse's mouth.........or several horses' mouths!

Sorry to be pedantic, but the title of your thread asks about operations in the Baltic, then later you talk about the Black and Caspian seas. These are very different areas, a long distance apart.
