Re: Early Spitfire dataplate, ID needed

This is one where Air Britain Mark 1 Production List (Aeromilitaria Winter 2008) and the 'Spitfire The History' book diverge..

Spitfire the history has as quoted. Air Britain says

"X4332 Delivered Heston Aircraft 17.8.40 (Converted PR 111); PRU 31.8.40; Destroyed on ground by enemy bombs, Heston Cat E 29.10.40"

The key to solving this is probably a better location for the loss or even some other indicator on wreckage etc..
