Re: Spitfire of 242 Squadron - North Africa 1942-43
 Casablanca was stil in Vichy hands in October. Photo is taken at Gibraltar (The Rock is visible in the background), probably October/November 1942. North Front is also at Gibraltar. Early 1943 Spitfire underside colors were standarised: Azure Blue or Light Mediterranean Blue. I do not know AR525's history, except that was in Africa in Spring 1943. There is some conflicting info about EP965: probably flown by 249 and 241 Sqn at Malta (accident 25.3.43, Cat 3). Probably repaired. Also listed in MACAF 213 Sqn in Egypt, 253 Sqn, and 73 Sqn at Foggia V.44. MA859 was erected from crates by 145 MU at Casablanca, but later in 1943. SOC 29.8.46. Zoran
