Nice pic of a Spit.

Seems to be N3200
First Flight 29-11-39
8MU 2-12-39
19Sq 14-4-40
FTR 27-5-40

Interesting no visible sign of ID letter even though with unit for over a month?

Actually in Air Battle Dunkirk by Norman Franks it has the loss as 26-5-40.

07.34 to 09.15. N3200 was being flown by S/Ldr G D Stephenson. He claimed a Ju87 but was sot down - POW.
In the book "P/O M D Lyne confirmed seeing the Commanding Officer in an apparantly controlled glide over the French coast leaving a trail of blue smoke".
