Re: Which stories behind these photos?

Hello Larry,

Thanks a lot for your precisions. The reported facts are very interesting.
Looking closely at YT°F's serial, seems to me that the last two cyphers are 37 and not 33. Any other possibility, in this case?
Regarding the "unknown" serial on the barge, it seems effectively that this peculiar spifire has been picked out of the sea by a recovery german unit. So, it may be P8395.
Alongside the photos of AZ°K on ebay, there are photos (from same batch) of a recovered Bf109-F and of a Whitley after what looks like an in water emergency landing.

And finally, Larry, any suggestion concerning the first one spitfire : W3108 ?
