Spitfire P9374 Article Aeroplane June 2008
Andy Saunders has written an article in this months Aeroplane (June 2008) on the loss of Spitfire P9374 on 24th May 1940, piloted by F/O P.F. Cazenove (73727) of 92 Sqn on Calais beach (PoW) and its subsequent re-discovery (1980) and recovery in 1981. There is a picture of the wreckage in 1940 which reveals the individual code to be either GR-J or GR-L (only the top of the last letter is shown, and from the photo it appears it may not have had the GR painted on it). The actual aircraft code is not mentioned in the article, does anyone (Andy?) know what it was?
Update: A quick google search indicates it is GR-J, but I was wondering why this is not mentioned as it is 'un-confirmed' BTW very great article Andy, thanks for writing it! Paul
