Spitfire BL614 - Nos 64 and 118 Squadrons

[VoyTech]

BL614 was in a batch of 222 Spitfire Vs taken over by 64 and then taken over by 118. In such cases it wasn't unusual (although not a rule) to retain the previous user's individul aircraft code letters and just replace the unit codes. Do you know the 222 code for it? Perhaps the code letter was retained in 64?

Unfortunatly no, but would very much like to. August 1942 to March 1943.
