Re: Help identify a crashed Spitfire with "A / E" markings

I'm wondering if it could have been the personal 'mount' of a senior Commander like having D-B for Douglas Bader and that someone else borrowed it for an op and got shot down.

Or the first letter of the code was painted out to repair damage and it got used on an op before they had time to paint the missing letter.
