Can anyone identify the aircraft flown by Roger Simmons? He was seconded to SAAF and joined 1 Squadron 13th November 1941 as a Pilot Officer. Fought in Operation Crusader. Transferred to 238 Squadron R.A.F. in May 1942 and returned to 1 Squadron 2nd July 1942 taking part in 1st Alamein, Alam Halfa and El Alamein. Flying in his Spitfire he was shot down and wounded by flak on 24 March 1943 strafing Gabes Airfield Tunisia.
