Re: Spitfire ID and base
Hello,

An uncropped shot of No.72 Sqn Spitfire RN-N, appears in Tom Docherty's, Swift to Battle Vol.1:1937 to 1942 (p.141) The photo is accredited to Cpl Graeme Gillard, who was an airframe fitter with 72 Sqn., and took many (illegal), candid shots of the squadron's activities. The photo is captioned: A 72 Sqn Spitfire climbs away from Ackilington in 1941 with RN-N in the foreground (G. Gillard).

Col.
