Re: AC and place to ID ???

Hello,

Other sources quote this aircraft as:

10 June 1944
No.412 (RCAF) Sqn
Spitfire LF.IX MJ255:VZ-S

Engine failure, crash-landed Allied territory. Not due to enemy action

F/L H.G. GARWOOD - returned to unit next day.

See: 2ndTAF. Vol.1/Shores & Thomas pp.130 (colour side-view) & 154-5 (Photo).

Franks (FCL3/33), also has Spitfire LF.IX MJ136 lost over the Pas de Calais on 11 May 1944, after a mid-air collision with another 412 Sqn RCAF aircraft.

Col.
