Conflicting Spitfire Serials May-June 1940
I have a number of photos of crash-landed Spitfires in France and when cross-referring BofF T&N to Spitfire Production List and F540, there are discrepancies so can anyone confirm or not:
21 May 40 74 Sqn K9977 or K9957/ZP-Q (Plt Off R D Aubert) 23 May 40 74 Sqn K9867/ZP-J (Sqn Ldr F L White) 1 Jun 40 222 Sqn P9317/ZD-A (Plt Off H Falkus)

Thanks Paul-clears up the confusion not helped by poor F540 keeping by 74 Sqn!

Re: Conflicting Spitfire Serials May-June 1940
Thanks Andy-when and where? Could it have been the one with the two-tone under wings used for propaganda? It appears that those captured in 1940 have a very hard to work out subsequent service. I have a photo which shows one with no markings, two tone under surface with unidentified German aircrew around it at an unknown location. N3277 had no underwing roundels and not two tone
