it is only a idea but he flew one NL-C till mid july 43 a Mk IXa and after a Mk IXb EN??? I repeat only an idea...

Thank you.
Thank you for the extra info Many.

That's a shame about the log book, but I guess so many are in private hands today it's not too surprising. I thought it may have been in 'official' hands.

I suppose it's a good idea that his aircraft carried the code letter C (I wondered if he perhaps used L for his real name of Lucien Montet). But as his Spitfire IX MH388 at 80 OTU was coded CM, it's quite a good bet as they say.
