Re: Spitfire accident records of 65 and 257 RAF Sqns

I presume after "Dark Blue World" everybody is well aware that "mrtvy" means "dead" in Czech...

Both 65 Sqn accidents (P8165 on 17/8/41 and P7530 on 19/8/41) seem to have been recorded for Sgt Mrtvy 787187, but in one case the name and in the other the service number were misspelled (78787 would have been an RAF VR officer's number).

I think I might have a scan of a photo of AD192 RY-K.
IIRC the pic was published in Zdenek Hurt's book "Czechs in the RAF".

Why is it W/O Mrtvy you're interested in?
