Thanks for the info. Andy.

Interesting that both squadrons were using the same code at the same time.

I think that happened with quite a few squadrons at one time or another; 92 and 616 come to mind with QJ.

I will try to scan and post a copy of this image in next few days.

Gerry - I think they must have used it a bit past September 1939 as evidenced by this photograph which I am certain is May 1940.

Yes please! And thank you in advance.
A very nice shot. It looks like the pilot made wheels down landing.

Thanks Larry.

I am already talking to Peter about this and he has a high-res copy which I am, of course, happy for him to share with you.

An interesting 'photo - in many respects!
