Re: Crash-landed Spitfire
With regards the 308Sqn and 17th Sept 41, W3524. Was this the only loss this day? If there was another it is possible serials might have been mixed which is exactly the case of another one I have just helped to research.

Re: Crash-landed Spitfire
Hello Mark,
To answer you question, FCL vol 1 revised offers at least ten Spitfires with the serial number starting with "W3" on the 17th September 1941. However the one that is in the photos and is the point of discussion was W3124 lost on the 4th September 1941. The main identifing item being the Squadron code and a/c in squadron letter, "X-ZD", "ZD" identifies 222 Squadron while 308 Squadron was "ZF". All for now Alex |

Re: Crash-landed Spitfire
So ZD-X, W3124, ‘Nellie’, lost on 4.09.1941 is the last word, right?
Thanks for all replies,
