Re: Photo RAF Aircraft
Clint this is a better image, it's actually IWM photo CNA-1643.
UM-V is MA454, Q may be JL170; this is in the Naples--Salerno area. I made a model of UMV 50 years ago. Nick Last edited by Buckeye30; 1st September 2021 at 15:12.

Re: Photo RAF Aircraft
Thanks Nick,
A much nicer photo. Now all I have to do is to find a original photo of a far east based Spitfire to cover my egregious blunder  Regards, Clint Last edited by musec04; 30th January 2021 at 21:00.

Re: Photo RAF Aircraft

I followed the aircraft as far as MA4 and UM code but with your IWM find, yes MA45x. The RAF Aircraft MA100 to MZ999 has this aircraft with 601Sq and after that with 5 RFU. No mention of any 152Sq. Aircraft crashed in Italy, so deff in that area. May I ask how this one is identified? Does IWM state the serial number or have you done your own homework? I agree no other aircraft in the MA450 - 459 fits, so MA454 certainly feels good. Just curious...  Cheers Stig
