Hi,

based on my info, it is QJ-E BR523, belly landed Aug 19,1942 by Lt. Samouelle, 92 Squadron.

I have another 2 photos and plane looks same.

Hi Paul,

check A History of the Mediterranean Air War, 1940-1945: Volume 2 - page 311 - view from right side.
Same picture is in Osprey Spitfire Aces of North Africa and Italy - looks at this link:

Next photos from e-bay I will send to you via e-mail, please send it to me.

Hi all,

photos posted on different forum (with more space) :

Looks like same plane, but the upper propeller blade looks different like the photo from HMAW or Osprey books - so probably 2 different planes.

This second photo is not of "QJ-E".

If it is what it looks like it was supposed to have gone down with HMS Glorious on her way back from Norwegian waters.
Anyone who knows more?? :confused:

Well it may help solve some other mystery - We now know it was not on Glorious - So one that was "not", must have been

So some work will need to be done to re-appraise
