Re: Spitfire of 242 Squadron - North Africa 1942-43
Tim - ER778 was a Vb (Merlin 46) dedicated "Spirit of Beverley" they had Vb s April 42 to Dec. 43 and Vc s July 43 to Feb.44. At the time you said they were in Algeria.
I havn't seen a photo but almost certainly in Desert scheme with stencilled serial, their "LE" codes weren't always carried (more common on their Mk.IXs) and spinners should have been red as on ER773 but sometimes black or Dark Earth.
Hope you find a photo.
