Re: Spitfire P9374

Beautiful and fantastic resoration job! What a thrill to see this kite in the air.

I would agree with John that the fuselage roundel is not quite right for May 1940. The yellow surround would have been the same width as the blue. Also it seems to me that it also would have born the 92 Sqn. code 'QJ' in addition to the individual letter 'J.' I also question whether underwing roundels were in use at this time. Incidently the loss of P9374 occurred on 24 May rather than the 23rd.

Cheers,
Tom
