341 Sqn Spitfire NL-H serial?

Hello again Many

I meant it was a shame that the log book is not more easily available to access, like it would be if it were in a public museum or archive. I suppose that it has survived at all is a miracle, and if it's in good hands then it's good news.

I know that many people who collect items such as these like to keep them to themselves - I suppose it's like people who collect works of art or other rare items, and keep them locked away, only to be viewed by themselves!

My interest in Christian Martell is that he commanded 80 OTU (Operational Training Unit) which was based at RAF Morpeth in Northumberland in 1945. RAF Morpeth is only about 5 km from my house. As I'm sure you're aware, he was later killed in a crash at RAF Ouston, which is about 20 km from here. One of my main interests is local aviation history, so naturally Christian Martell has become part of this interest.

Best regards

Simon
