BoB Spitfire with PRU canopy???

Thanks to all of you who have been pursuing this thread. I am writing a book on 19 Squadron during this era and am keen to secure a copy of the picture of Sgt Davies's Spitfire II L.R a.
I am very glad that he survived at all. Most sources indicate that he was killed in this encounter with the Me110's.
I may also have other information that you have been seeking.
By all means write to me direct on henderson_rl@hotmail.com

My Uncle, Flt/Lt Jack Henderson DFC, was in 19 Squadron slightly later. Unfortunately, he was killed in December '42. I have been researching his life but it became so broad that it is now a book.

Best wishes,

Roger Henderson

Apologies for bringing back an old thread, but on researching Spitfire V BL907, which I was informed was know as the 'Spirit of Natal', I obtained the attached picture of the aircraft from the IWM. Copyright of the photo belongs to the IWM.

Looking at the hood, it appeard to have a PR type blister fitted, yet it retains the sights of the fighter.

An RAF officer's trunk belonging to a F/O J Smalley is on e-bay.

I was wondering if he was the same one as up there ^. DFC?
