Re: Spitfire Mk IX PT543, 185 Sqdn, shot down in Italy
All that I could find was 185 - hit by flak and abandoned near Vignola 4.9.44.
This was in PA100-RZ999
While Spitfire the History by Morgan & Shacklady has -
PT543 - 6MU 23-8-44, 82MU 1-9, Q Park 13-9, Casa 23-9 FTR ops 27-2-45.

So two different dates ? if it was at sea on the 13-9 then could not have been abandoned over Italy on the 4th before it got to Italy ??
