Re: RAF Squadron "PN"

PN was indeed used by 41 Sq on Spitfire Mk.Is prewar. Not however, by the other two units on Spitfires.

I thought I could see R not P on a couple of these aircraft, but they do otherwise look prewar. The problem then becomes the code on the sixth aircraft: ER, FR or GR? Only GR can fit, 92 Sq, but only after March 1940.

As far as codes are concerned, Peter Lewis's book has been superseded by Combat Codes, by Vic Flintham and Andrew Thomas. It does however help to look in all the appropriate chapters.
