Re: Early Spitfire dataplate, ID needed
If this was definately a European recovery.. X4342 looks a possiblity.. But that was lost in 1942 after converion to Vb.. All other 'near' ones were lost in UK
The next possible one (other than X4350) is X4385 which reportedly force landed with engine failure at Deelen in Netherlands on a PR mission to Hamburg on 22.9.41 while with 3 PRU (Flt Lt P. Tomlinson POW)
X4386 was also lost on continent, but shot down at Texel 12.1.41 (Flt Lt MArshall POW) on mission to Bremen while with 3 PRU
