Re: Shot Down Spitfire Italian Front

Hello,
JL123
AB has
601/80/32 - To Training Delegation 1.11.45
So would have survived WW2.

125
232 Sqn - Engine cut on patrol;
Abandoned near Coniso 17-7-43.
128
93 Sqn
Hit trees low flying near Morino, 15m SE of Rome. 28-11-43.
129
To USAAF 31-8-43.
"Spitfire International" has basically, "12thAF 31.8.43; Fate unknown".

So I would favour JL128 as there seem to be a lot of branches in the picture.
Pilot I believe to have been-
F/O. SWAIN, Stanley Alfred - 136207 - RAFVR.
At rest at Casino War Cemetery, Italy.

Alex
