Re: Spitfire of 242 Squadron - North Africa 1942-43
"Airhistory.org.uk" gives X-Y (E) as EP305, 229 Sqn. flown off "Eagle". There's a lot of re-painting around the codes and the spinner is Sky or Sky Blue not red.
The Me109G is Yellow 14, 6./JG53 there is another photo of the left side with insignia and b/w spiral spinner. X-Y is in the foreground. One of several left at Comiso in July when they moved further north to Rammaca.
( As 229 was formed from 603 on Malta in Aug.1942 and 603 dropped their "X" code then, maybe they kept their code).?.
