Spitfire pilot's info sought

The latest project to get underway this summer is the recovery of a spitfire from 602squ whilst flying from kenley 12th march 1942, but i am drawing a blank on the pilot.

Now do any of the folk have details on the pilot Flt/Sgt Schofield

Thanks

From Flt/Sgt to officer? A ‘field promotion’ perhaps?

Excellent pics, If you’re sending some bits over to the family I’ll fire up the laser cutter.

Mystery solved

After a bit of luck, we finally traced the son the late Frederick Schofield in USA. This was the final piece of the jig saw to the background of Spitfire AD189 which was dug for next years TV series on BBC called DIG WW2, certainly a series to watch presented by Dan Snow

His log book confirmed the loss of spitfire AD189 12th March 1942

Thanks for all the help,
