Thanks Paul and Peter for clarifying that problem.

However I am not sure that the codes for P2191 (PM-K) and K9372 (PM-J) were simply transposed in error by Gillet. There may be more.

K9372 crashed on May 10th after the crew all baled out, so presumably it was a total wreck.
K9374 force-landed on May 14th after flak damage.

Back in August 2008 Ed West (who else !) found 2 photos of a belly-landed Battle. It was coded PM-J as far as I can tell. Unfortunately I did not save these photos correctly, so I cannot now make out a serial on the side view. The E-Bay caption clearly stated this aircraft was K9374. Maybe someone has a better image and can check for the serial ?

Therefore it is possible that PM-J was K9374 and that the code letter for K9372 is now uncertain.

Again over to you gents.

Regards,

Martin.
