Re: 91 Sqn Spitfire XIVs - code letters

Hi Hans,

There is a little confusion which Mk 21s were s/d near Den Helder (BTW is still there a Russian submarine docked there ?). I do not have copies of the 91 Sqn ORB for Spring 1945 so I believe your s/n LA203 and LA229 are from Kew. They correspond to Franks´ FCL but Hall mentions LA229 and LA234. LA203 was destroyed by F/L Elcock on 14th May. It is confirmed by Morgan & Shacklady´s Spitfire the History. This source has LA234 (correctly) s/d over Fresian Isles, but on 11th March ...
One of Hall´s profiles is LA234, and with letters DL-V.

Regards from cloudy Czech republic,
Michal
