Re: 140 Sqn Spitfire PRVIC X4492 D-P
Thanks
After 1PRU the aircraft spent 3 months in use for trials and experimental tests including extended wingtips prior to issue to 140 Sqn. The 140 Sqn PDF linked by Adriano indicates that normal camouflage livery was used by them at this date along with the squadron code ZW with individual aircaft codes as well, some aircraft were painted into allover colours (Blue, White and Pink) however ther dates flown do not appear to tally with X4492 known ops.
After the IOW forced landing the aircraft went to a maintenance unit then to Canada, all photographs I have found are of it in Canadian service.
Still not sure on what was actually on this at date of forced landing.
