Re: Lt Col G E Hall 12th BG Killed 1 Oct 43
So bad Spitfires of 601 were not photographed so well.
Castelvetrano is on the other corner of Sicily, so I think unlikely brought from there. This leaves Pachino, Cassible or Lentini West but then it must have been flown to Gerbini. There are pics of UF-X & UF-7, and I think the latter was photographed by Levy on 3 October at Gerbini. I do not recall any mention of the aircraft by any airman of 601 either. So, a mystery. There is also a question, if it was handed over to Americans like Gremlin HQ or if Hall just took a chance to fly it.
