    It's probably not relevant in this instance, but just check the times.
    During WW2, the time entered in the (RAF) Flying Control log was GMT. The time in the ORB and Pilot's Log was the time used during the period (i.e, BST/DBST etc). The German forces, however, were two hours ahead of the time used in the UK, not the normal one hour contintental time zone difference.
    All these time differences can affect calculation of actual time, position etc.

    Its good to note that aircraft flying from continent post DDay used whatever time system that was the continent not the British Isles , this caused a lot of confusion in the awarding of claims. Eg Charlie Fox strafing Rommel,
