On 9 May 1943 two Spitfire Vb’s from 165 (Ceylon) Sqn intercepted a Junkers Ju 88 R-1 (the one now in Hendon) near Aberdeen, the crew of which was defecting. These two Spitfires were AB921 (flown by Canadian Sgt Scamen) and BM515 (flown by American Lt Roscoe).
Does anybody know the fuselage codes for AB921 and BM515? They should be SK-something… Photos of these machines would even be better.

Thanks very much for your reply. It helps a bit, as at least we can discount a few possible aircraft letters now 🙂

Sorry, the only ones I’ve got codes for are AB818 (SK-Z), AB972 (SK-H), AD576 (SK-R), BL295 (SK-D), BM240 (SK-U), BM418 (SK-L), BM516 (SK-V), EP172 (SK-W), EP381 (SK-Y), EP491 (SK-B) and EP507 (SK-A). 🙁
Good luck in your search.
