Re: W/C Skalski Spitfire "SS"
If the caption on the back of the photo is correct that rules out Sampson since he was Winco of 145 in 1945 on the continent. 131 (Polish) Wing was based at Northolt in 1944 however the plane seems to bear under fuselage D-Day stripes which would rule out Skalski. The stripes are certainly not the standard size but there is a photo in 2nd TAF, Vol. 4 showing such stripes on a 64 Sqn. Spit of just about the same size and location. This places the photo during the latter half of 1944. So for me the mystery remains.
