| Lancaster LM635 SR-H / Sgt C.J.Poulton
:-
On rechecking my fathers wartime log book, he lists aircraft SR-H as being serial number LM365, last flight 22 Oct '43, Opps Kassell, after which he entered 3 other serial numbered aircraft then DV302 on the 11th and 15th Nov, but does not list the aircraft individual codes, so I may well be wrong, but DV302 became SR-H, ( not sure of the date).

I believe you have a typographical error regarding the serial number of this Lancaster, it should be LM365 SR-H
LM635 served with 626 Sqn (UM .12 ) July 44 to early 45, 10 MU, Scrapped Oct 46. This information is derived from my fathers war time log book : SqnLdr E.Q.Moody. 101 Sqn : flew LM 365 SR-H from the 13th Oct 43, to 22nd Oct 43. Lancaster serial number information obtained from Bruce Robertsons' book: LANCASTER - THE STORY OF A FAMOUS BOMBER.
