Hi Peter,

You've got me at it now !! Trying to pin down the 92 Sq change over!
Looking at another photo here, this one via Roy Motram, dated 27/4/40 photo shows N3265 GR-T wheels up after engine failure.

The usual sources then show it as; To AST 4/5/40

So, GR- was still in use by at least some a/c, circa beginning May ?

Tiz at least 30 years ago since we last exchanged some photos !!

As Peter Corwell says, its pretty impossble to identify from a description of a photo - however good the description! That said, your description of Spitfire "B" sounds very much like Al Deere's KL-B, Kiwi I. Quite a well known pic. But without seeing it........!

Andy,

I am quite happy to mail you a copy if you wish ? (I hope we haven't hi-jacked the original post too much!!)

Hi,

To get back to back to GR-J.

Looks to me as if the GR has been painted over as the outline looks to me to be there - just.

You've got me there! Try as I might, I cannot see what you can. Maybe its just me?

Hi Andy,
Is it this one ?

I reversed the colours

Not seen it before, but it certainly looks to be Mr Cazenove's machine! Still struggling to make out those squadron codes, though. I wonder if friend Heinrich, reaching into the cockpit, managed to souvenir the spade grip?

Nice image.
