Help to identify the unit of these Spitfires
Hey, guys. I just found these interesting photos (CH2815 to CH2819) and I would like to identify the squadron these Spitfires belonged to. Perhaps it would be possible to recognize (any of) the pilots, and consequently, the unit where they were?

Re: Help to identify the unit of these Spitfires
Hi Fernando. The pilot in the last photo is J. H. Lacey (501 Sqn) taken at Colerne on 30 May 1941 when the sqn. was still flying Mk. Is before IIAs.

Thanks Nick. :-) Do you think it is him who wears a coat and hat in the outside taken photographs? Airplane model is the same.
