Re: Spitfire V ER254 of 242 Sqn. in Nov. 1942
I checked those particular examples in Combat Codes, by Thomas and Flintham. Sadly they do not include a separate list specifically for this operation but do show that the use of single-letter codes has been quite common over the history of the RAF. I believe that there is similar information in Chris Shores' books, such as the older Fighters Over Tunisia and the more recent volumes of Mediterranean Air War.
Combat Codes states use from 11.42 to 5.43 (and A = 81 Sq., spotted en route)
F = 154 Sq (possibly)
J = 93 Sq
L =152 Sq
Presumably any other units had not been positively identified at the time this book was produced, but a study of the arrival of fighter units into the theatre may be helpful.
