Re: Spitfire I (P9453)

Hi Leo,

F/O Hyde-Parker took off Heston at 07:55 on a low level reconnaissance to Boulogne. His aircraft was a Green PR Spitfire, not sure what type but in a document dated 19 Jun 40 P9453 is listed as a practice and experimental machine with armament fitted and with split F.24 8" cameras. I don't know if P9453 was still this standard when lost but if so it could probably be classified as a prototype Spitfire PR Type G.

Best Regards

Andy Fletcher
