Re: Hawker Typhoon loos

Sgt. Finn Normann Østervold was flying Spit IX PV210 FN-R when he was shot down by flak on 26. November 1944. No enemy fighters were observed.He bailed out,but the plane was too low and the chute failed to open.
There are no reports of any 331 or 332 Sqn planes with red spinners.However,most of the planes on these two squadrons had a red-white-blue-white-red band around the central part of the spinner.Rest of the spinner would be sky.
