Spitfire Mk. IX 5J-G, MK126 details

Hello!

I am searching any details about Supermarine Spitfire Mk. IX coded 5J-G (serial number MK126) used in 126th Sqn. RAF from Harrowbeer in 1944 (was it a LF IXe version?). I'm particularly interested if this a/c belonged to any indvidual pilot or was used by many and when. Any help would be appreciated.

I cannot provide a full list of aircrew who flew MK126, although the following RAAF/Australian pilots with 126 SQN did so between 29 May 44 and 3 Oct 44 - Hinten LD, McFadyen JA, Halcombe FK, Grant JH, Kingsbury DH, Porter JRB. You may like to check or even download the relevant ORB pages through Public Records for other aircrew.

regards, Drew

A minor point for future is that RAF is never 126th Sqn always 126 Sqn. USAAF would be 126th
