Re: 457 Sqn RAAF Spitfire
Hello,
Not much help, but ex- RAF serial number was MV129 ,perhaps a member has some details of her while in that service. Also the RAAF squadron code was "ZP" which most likely was carried on the a/c. Alex |

Re: 457 Sqn RAAF Spitfire
Thanks for your input Alex , the bailout occurred during a strafing attack on
Kaung ,North Borneo at approx 1610 hour. He was rescued within 24 hours after avoiding the Japanese, with help from friendly locals by Catalina. Regards Mike Source .457 ORB |
