Re: Serial on Spitfire V(b?) AH-M from 332(N) Sqn 1942?

You will hate me!
Foundation (or we should say sponsor at the time) inscription should have been in MSG though some photos suggest Sky might have been used as well. White stripes were applied for the operation Rutter in early July 1942 only. They were gone by the time of Dieppe. I am also not sure if they were applied on all the aircraft participating in the former.
Your little beauty is lacking IFF antennas and I am not quite sure if cannon covers were painted with dope. I would expect ordinary black rubber. There is also something wrong with the carburettor inlet.
Cheers

(It's wrong with the AM-antennae I've realised after the pics were taken. The antenna is gone now. ) Oh and Alex, there's a pic of AH-M on the starboard side and the name Litago on that side as well. I don't have that pic I might add.
