Hi, Neat post. There is a problem along with your web site in internet explorer, would test this? IE still is the marketplace leader and a good portion of other folks will leave out your great writing due to this problem.

hello, thanks for creating this profile, very informative. i had two quick questions; what confirmation do we have that this aircraft had the wide cannon blisters? i have the late mark spitfire aces book and haven't found anything concrete. about the paint, was the airplane painted at its' operational airfield? if so it's possible that the mechanics used whatever was available. meaning anything from pru blue to "hot rod" blue that they may have just bought in the nearest town that sold automotive paint.

I want to build a model (Tamiya 1/32) of a Beer Carrying Spitfire. If anyone knows which squadron, which codes, insignia, (etc.) of these fine planes, and has photos of said such, then wow! Let me know and send... steaks, whiskey and of course beer await you here in Tuscaloosa, the Center of the Universe With a Perfect Disguise.

Happened upon this site whilst reading First Light and wanting to fully understand the importance of the hydromatic airscrew. It was great how it linked into 65 Squadron....I found more than I was looking for.

... Sure the Spit V trop was more manoeuvrable and speedy than Macchi 202? I didn't.

Hi There, Norm was my grandfather, and a few corrections to your info here: -He passed on May 1st, 2011, the memorial was on May 6th. -Norm was born a Turnbull, but changed his name to that of his step father during leave of his second tour in WWII (based on Morotai).
