Re: eBay: Allied intrest
#1 is interesting.
It shows Spitfire Vc JK333, with a code of W and a badge which is unknown to me (anyone?)
This aircraft was dispatched to North Africa on 1 Oct 43, after which there is no trace of it until it was PSOC on 1 Jan 47 - this was a catch-all date for "lost" aircraft.
http://www.airhistory.org.uk/spitfire/_prodn%20list.txt
records it with 185 Sqn which was in Italy in the 1943-1945 time frame.
Further info very welcome.

Re: eBay: Allied intrest
SqnLdr. I, N, MacDougall claimed a Can't Z506b on August 20th'43 whilst flying JK333
Also
F/Lt Thomas William, Willmott DFM piloted JK333 185 Sqdn in September'43.

JK333 was a presentation aircraft (?) named "Harmatris".
OR
Was this the name of the ship that took JK333 to the Mediterranean War area ?

SS "Harmatris" (R.661) took 36 Spitfires including JK333 from Leith to Gibraltar arriving 26 April 43 part of a convoy.

Re: eBay: Allied intrest
Post 3510.
Photo 2. P-47D-2 42-7993 "Bromo Baby" War-Weary ex. 352FG; taken on by 339BS/96BG at Snetterton Heath as a "hack". She had a painting of Disney's "DOC" on cowling. Crashed at 447BG base Rattlesden on 23 March 45. probably on a "joy-ride". The fancy "Z" was the 3rd. Div. designator, possibly no relevance here though.


Photo 4. B-17G 43-38207 XM--U, 94BG missing on Berlin-Spandau Mission 667 coming down in the N. Sea on the way out on 6 Oct.44; seen with engine feathered. MACR 9351.


Photo 5. B-24H 42-52392 J4-O "Wabbit Twacks" 458BG from Horsham St. Faith; lost 8 April 44 on Mission 291 to Brunswick, engine smoking after fighter attacks. MACR 3786. Bad day for 2nd. Div. losing 30 B-24s


Photo 6. B-24 "Dopey" artwork ?

Re: eBay: Allied intrest
The writing on Photo 2 is Bronc, not Bromo. For those outside the U.S., a bronc is a reference to a horse.
