Spitfire AB910 to represent Bens Spitfire X4559 EB-J, with the Guinea Pig Club logo painted on the side.
 
In 1990 the BBMF may have painted Spitfire AB910 to represent Bens Spitfire X4559 EB-J, with the Guinea Pig Club logo painted on the side. This was the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, we have a booklet in our possession, from J & JK Publishing a project of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, by their historian the late Campbell P Gunston, Project Three Supermarine Spitfire MkVb AB910 of The BBMF, representing Guinea Pig Club Pilot Squadron Leader G.H. Bennions DFC of 41 Squadron by Campbell P Gunston. ISBN: 1900511754. This booklet is still for sale on Amazon, I have searched everywhere, without success to get a picture of this project for our display, and the BBMF say its not in their archives, If anyone has this picture I would you be very grateful for a copy for our project.

Regards

Mike

Hi Peter

Thank you very much for posting this photo, you have no idea how I have searched for this picture, could you please let me know if it would be possible to get permission to use this photo in our project, as we would not like to breach the copyright regulations, unfortunatly the Guinea Pig Logo does not seem to have been included in the paint sceme suggested, but I am very grateful to have found it.

Regards

Mike
