    The Halifax I ask about was a 148 Sqn mashine and was probably lost on mission of supply drop for Yugoslavian partisans rather than support of Warsaw Uprising. Problem is that I'm not sure wether Halifax of that serial was realy lost that particular night.

    As far as a know all JN and JP serial number Halifxes were B Mk II and GR Mk II built by LPT.

    JN882 - 926
    JN941 - 978
    JP107 - 137
    JP159 - 207
    JP220 - 259
    JP275 - 301
    JP319 -338

    Undoubtedly there is something wrong with the Halifax serial number.

    Hi everybody
    After checking my Halifax files it seems that indeed there was no Halifax of that serial. I've found it on exellent Carpetbeggr Aviation Museum list, but anyway there was probably a Halifax from 148 Sqn lost in SOE Op. that night possibly in Sarajewo region. I'm looking for any info
    All the best
