Re: AC and place to ID ???
Hello Kris,
Have looked again in Frank's FCL vol 3.
11th May 44
412 Sqdn
F/O. J.S. Hamilton - Safe.
Spitfire IX: MJ136
Ramrod 867
Collided with MH427( Pilot: F/O R.W. Thatcher - Safe) over Pas de Calais; Baled out and rescued. See 10th June 1944.
So agree if MJ136 was lost on 11th May 44 it could not have been the "VZ-S" loss with "Invasion Stripes" seen in the photo.
Question now is if Pilot of MJ255 on the 11th June was F/L. H. G. Garwood, then which Spitfire was P/O D.R.C. Jamieson - (Safe, returned to unit on foot) flying on the 11th June 44 ?
As for the P-47, possibly from the 57th FG 65th FS ??? (numbered a/c "40" to "69").
Alex
