Just out of curiosity Bertrand

How can you tell this is No 401? All I can ID is the digits 88, but there were more Y-x88
No 301 Y-788
No 201 Y-688 (unlikely since it was used by the Luftwaffe)
No 101 Y-588

Cheers

Hi Stig,

With engine 14N49 we remove 101 lost with GC III/10
201 known up to 1943
301 was with four blades and known at Tours (check Avions HS 7 pages 39 and 41) on wheels and not wrecked

99% it is n°401

Thanks :bow:

Seems more is known now than when I bought the LELA Presse book.
Perhaps this is included in the new book by Ricco?

Cheers
Stig

Post 3576.
Spitfire Vc WD-D 4FS / 52FG; may be MH605 "Ocean Rider", late 43 on Sicily and Corsica. Typical mixed US - RAF insignia, the tail flash often remained.


Sorry "Ocean Rider" was the ship which delivered her to Casablanca arriving 10 Oct. 43 (total 65 Spits.) one of 60 "Ocean " class this one built in Maine; assigned to the Ministry of War Transport. Definitely WD-D.
