Re: Spitfire squadron to id

Because the aircraft is wearing the early day fighter scheme with the addition of the Fighter Command Sky spinner and fuselage band this shows it to be post November 1940. Also judging by the ground crew working in singlets this
suggests to me that this is probably spring/summer 1941.

In which case if it is 54 then the airfield will be Hornchurch. Is anybody here able to recognise this as Hornchurch?

91 with DL squadron code was also operating Spits at this stage so I suppose they're another possibility.

Great photo.
