Hello Everyone I'm wondering if anyone can help me find the fuselage code of a particular Whitley. I'm building a kit of the plane my Grandfather flew in WWII as a gift for my Dad. This is the info I have so far: His name was Pilot Officer Dennis Stevens, 10 Squadron. The plane was a Whitley V serial number P4935. It was lost, over the North Sea, early in the morning of 7th September returning from bombing the Salzhot oil depot, Berlin. I know the first two letters are ZA (10 Squadron code) and I have narrowed the last letter down to one of the following: C, D, G, I, N, S, T, V, W, X, or Z. Any information, even it confirms another letter that it wasn't would be greatly appreciated. My thanks to John "K for Kitty Crew" for his help so far in this. Thanks Segan
Dennis, was my grandads cousin. I researched him when I was 24, a number of years ago now. He died aged 24. I have bought a poppy in his memory every year. I thought he had no descendants. Thus us really interesting. we have no photos of him as a family. My aunties Remember him, but sadly have now both passed away. My Aunty told me she remembered Dennis mum being upset in her Aunty, when she learnt his plane did not return. She was sad she lost her son (possible two sons lost at war, another member if the family didnt loose any sons at war.), his dad apparently died of TB, this was all stories from my aunt. Is this a photo of him? Shocked he had a son! Kirsty
