Re: F/O William Warfield KIA 03.12.44 Spitfire MK232.

Hello Gents,

I succeeded to find out the wreckage of Spitfire IX MK232 on the 22nd August.

The dig was successful, uncovering the RR Merlin buried at 3 meters depth, under the Walloon archaeological service eyes.

The National TV even made a reportage such as this one :

The cherry on the cake was the fly-by late afternoon of the only flyable Spitfire in Belgium : SL721 adorned with the "Red Indian" such as MK232 of 421 Sqn!

Pictures will follow pending time.

Enjoy!
