Pilots and their aircraft

[Spitfire 9]

Tim.

92 Sqdn; S/Ldr. Sanders. Philip James

N3285 GR-V Later QJ-V
I have a photo of this a/c, (as GR-V) tipped up on nose by 'Tich' Havercroft.


19 Sqdn; Baker. Henry Collingham.

L1030. 1/6/40 Shot down Bf110.
1/6/40 Damaged Bf110.
I have a photo of this a/c but, now on charge to 57OTU coded PW-A.


Do you only seek details of the specific a/c you indicate?
I have some history of other Spitfires than those you mention but, they do have 'kills' linked to the pilots you speak of?

Regarding photos, please contact via pm.

Tim,

I can't add anything to Mervyn's posting, but I am curious where you came up with the three serial numbers for P.J. Sanders. Chris Shores in "Aces High" does not list any serial numbers for Sanders' claims.

Regards,

Tom

Hi

I got the serial numbers from Barry M. Marsden's book "Derbyshire Fighter Aces of World War Two". In the book it shows the pilots and a list of the airframe serial numbers they were flying when they made their damage/kill claims throughout their career's.

Hi and thanks for the reply.

Yes it was those aircraft in particular, but if you have other photo's then even better, I'll pm you for the photo's if thats ok.

This all stems from a book I've recently bought which lists the three pilots I was interested in as coming from Chesterfield in Derbyshire(two lived just a stones throw from my house) and I was planning to model their aircraft.
