Info sought on Spitfire MH434 in "Over Here Markings"

Hello,

I’m wondering if anyone has any good quality pictures of Spitfire MH434 wearing the WO A codes for the filming of the TV series Over Here ? I’m interested in the shape of the codes, the grainy picture I have suggests they may be a different shape to the official RAF codes especially the letter O. i am also looking for a good quality picture showing the style of the MH434 serial in use at the time.

Any offered would be hugely appreciated. Its the last bit off info needed to sign off the artwork on a decal sheet featuring MH434 in her film and TV markings.

Many thanks in advance

Martin

Peter you are a star. Many thanks for those images it will allow us to finish the artwork on the decal sheet.

This is one design that has been floating around for a while now while other things jumped the line. A few revisions to do and then it’s off to the printers in all the major scales.

I wonder if Martin has the ‘kill’ markings…and the missing ‘4’ in the serial on the Stb. side?

I see I have very few images of the ‘Over Here’ livery, suggesting they were carried for a very brief time.

I had to crop the the port side from the back of a formation shot.
