This link http://www.aircraftresourcecenter.com/Rev3/2701-2800/rev2756-VPD32003/00.shtm shows a drawing of MK329 JEJ jr, and I have found a photo of it, on another of these decals sheets, but cannot track down a decent copy tonight!!

With regard to the comment by Cranswick “Johnson is known to have flown Mk.XIVs with 125 Wing immediately postwar.” JEJ not only flew XIV’s immediately postwar but also from taking over command of 125 Wing on 28 March 1945 – 125 Wing ORB “W/Cdr Johnny Johnson, D.S.O, D.F.C, assumed command of the Wing vice G/Capt Scott-Malden who is leaving to take up another appointment” – in “Wing Leader” he mentions flying over Berlin, so that is at least one operational flight, and he flew in to visit the ground echelon at B.104 Damm “The C.O. flew in, probably the first Spitfire to land – voluntarily – east of the Rhine” on 3 April 1945, without me consulting the ORB for other occasions.
