I have the Orbs from 50 Squadron from my father joining from O.T.U. in July '41 to the completion of his tour in March of '42. Unfortunately I don't have the portion that records the squadrons "In's and Out's."
In the flight operations that I have for that time S/Ldr Mulford's name only occurs on the occasions I posted in the attachment.
They being the flight from Swinderby to Swanton Morley on the day of the operation, September 20th '41. The operation itself flown that same evening from Swanton Morley, and the return flight from Finningley (where they landed after the operation) to Swinderby, this took place the following day.
As I understand it Bomber Command sent out 74 aircraft to bomb Berlin that evening but a recall was issued due to a deterioration of the weather.
From my father's log book I conclude that D.N.C.O. means "Duty not carried out." S.E.M.O. is an abbreviation for "Self evident military objective. R.F.X. I believe has something to do with the radio, perhaps you can enlighten me on that, and also the meaning of what looks like B.B.A.
I have often wondered why this aircraft left from Swanton Morley. Obviously Berlin was a long trip and leaving from a station further east would have been an advantage due to conservation of fuel, but as far as I am aware all other aircraft left from their regular stations on this operation.
