Hi,

based on my info, it is QJ-E BR523, belly landed Aug 19,1942 by Lt. Samouelle, 92 Squadron.

I have another 2 photos and plane looks same.

Thanks

Hi Paul,

check A History of the Mediterranean Air War, 1940-1945: Volume 2 - page 311 - view from right side.
Same picture is in Osprey Spitfire Aces of North Africa and Italy - looks at this link:

Hi all,

photos posted on different forum (with more space) :

http://www.modelari.org/viewtopic.ph...p=37158#p37158

Looks like same plane, but the upper propeller blade looks different like the photo from HMAW or Osprey books - so probably 2 different planes.

This second photo is not of "QJ-E".

If it is what it looks like it was supposed to have gone down with HMS Glorious on her way back from Norwegian waters.
Anyone who knows more??

Well it may help solve some other mystery - We now know it was not on Glorious - So one that was "not", must have been

So some work will need to be done to re-appraise
