    Hi,

    Looking for the Horsa chalk numbers for the 19 Stirling / Horsa combinations on Lift 1 September 17th 1944.

    Any help appreciated

    I have downloaded the 620 Operations Records Book (Form 541) for September 1944. The ORBs are free to download from TNA, but you need an account. The file is too large to post here.

    I have compiled it from various sources and records over the years. The best book is Tugs and Gliders to Arnhem by Arie Jan van Hees. I bought my copy from him in Oosterbeek in September 2000.
