mysterious kent crash

[Spitfire 9]

For what it's worth.............

It sounds 'possibly' like it 'may' be right alongside a little road called "Clapper Lane " Or. am I in the wrong place also ?

Also, a post on a Polish website indicates that P7883 was with 308sqdn and in action on 2/7/41 shooting down an Me109 & damaging another.

As previously mentioned, I have a photo of Mk 2a P7833 taken at Northolt in JUNE 1941 while with 315 Polish sqdn, coded PK-K. The photo also has evidence of a previous owner as the 65sqdn East India Crest is still plainly visible on the side of the cockpit.

This is an interesting thread................... I think I want be a detective in the next life.

No, Clapper Lane is more towards Staplehurst and involved a Hurricane.

There is a series of photos depicting P7855 PK-K, but the ornamental style of small size serial characters has led several authors/researchers to believe it was P7833.
BTW, in June 1941 No. 315 Sqn was on Hurricanes at Speke, the photos were taken in August.
