Re: E-bay - shot down Spitfire

well, the serial # is presumably P8xxx and it looks like the second letter is a "V" so it presumably could be QV for 19 Sq? THe pilot looks like he probably survived to become a POW.

Re: E-bay - shot down Spitfire

Hello,
Taken from Derek Palmer's book " Fighter Squadron"
Spitfire IIa
Sept40- Nov 41
Serial start "P"
8017;8032;8077;8164;8166;8171;8204;8241;8243;8251; 8255;8270;8277;8366;8384;8432;8442;8460;8583;8659; 8667;8679;8729.
Spitfire VB

Then again it may be a "9" and not an "8" ?

Alex

Hi Alex - thanks for more info and lot of options.

Have somebody photo of crashed Spitfire from Alex answer, and we can skip them from options?

Thanks
