A different type of problem

In my mod I added 6 new squadron. But for some reason only 5 of them show up. I have deleted and re-added the missing squadron, changed the arrival date but it will not show up as a reinforcement or if I add it to to show up at start it won't work either. I am not getting what I could have done wrong. In this and the other cases I added new aircraft to the game. They all show up either on the map or as reinforcements but this one will not. The squadron is in location 3306, the airplane is in location 120. I named it No.88 Sqn RAF and I did check to make sure there are no other 88 sqn's in the OOB.
I am seriously confused and any suggestions will be appreciated.

Is this squadron the only one to use the aircraft type? Have you tried adding the squadron in another slot?

Is there an 'x' in the active column? try copy/paste a squadron that you know works and then change the entries in the various fields

Does the aircraft have an availability date set?

I think I see where the problem might be. The French planes I added all show up in the replacement pool even though they have no replacement aircraft.
My missing plane is not showing up in the replacement pool.

If you double-check the aircraft DB in-game, and it shows up, then the pool numbers are a good bet.
What plane is it, BTW?

Whitley bomber. Somebody had made a shill of the whitley with coastal command colors and I just had to add it [;)]

I have messed around with this for a while and I am certain that something is wrong with the plane itself. If I simply assign the plane to an existing squadron it will not show up when I load the game. Going to wipe it out and reenter everything from scratch and see if that fixes it.

I had left out the durability # and that's what broke it......
