Assuming this relates to a post WWII French Spitfire?

It most probably is the operating base of the Spitfire.

For example BE.708 is Base Ecole No 708 at Meknes Morocco.

Hello PeterA

It is a real British Spitfire during WWII, but the pilot could be a Free French Pilot...

And it more and more probable the little sheet was about a missing pilot.

And "14 (case). C.5" maybe a special form used by RAF (always in conditional), for a file of accident, or missing pilot, or inquiry or something like that...

Sorry I can't say more, it is only a piece of sheet, British origin, concerning maybe a Free French Pilot ?

Thank you.
