Delivered to 653 Squadron on 4/4/43 and transferred to 84 Group Communications Flight on 25/2/44. On 6/10/44, MZ185 was declared Cat.A(C) but later, on 23/10/44 was declared 'missing' and written
off. At the time, the unit was based at Forward Airstrip B43, Arques Fort Rouge, near St Omer, France.
Since the aircraft was posted as "missing", no definite location can be established. Therefore, by default, the "location" posted is the last place the MZ185 took off from.
