Re: Crashed Spitfire photo identification No.611 Sqd

Melvin,

There were two Spitfires with FY-B that were shot down within a relative short timespan.
These were EN133, lost on 14 March 43, W/Cdr J.H. Slater killed (Rodeo 188 to Abbeville airfield) and EN562, lost on 30 May 43, Lt. R.T. Tradin killed (Ramrod 81 to Mondeville rail-yards).
In both instances the Spitfires were engaged by Fw-190s.

I have no idea if one of these aircraft had "Paddy IV" as its name.

Regards,

Leendert
