Two Spitfires with LY code captured in 1940
Hello,
In going over some images in the EOE data base, I find what appear to be two PRU Spitfires with the LY code that are in German hands. One apparently was taken when a plane force-landed in France on August 17, 1940, and two others show what I thought were the same aircraft with wheels down, possibly on display. There are subtle differences between them, however, which leads me to believe that there may have been two different PRU Spits that force landed in German-controlled areas during 1940. Does anyone have any insight into this? Thanx,
