Re: When did 92 SQ change their codes from GR to QJ (sometime in mid-1940)?

Larry

The photo of Cazenove's Spitfire down on the beach near Phare de Walde seems to have NO squadron codes, just the individual letter. Maybe this was very much the actual transition period - although a photo exists of Ronnie Foke's Spitfire apparently after a mishap in July which is coded GR-A.

According to Robinson's history of 92 Squadron Klipsch's aeroplane on the day he was lost was GR-H, but I am unclear as to what his sources are or how reliable this is.
