Might be able to help a little bit. I’ve got a couple of negatives of photos showing Terry Spencer in his 350 Squadron Spit XIV, one taken the day he went down the first time. I’ll have to get copies made.
In the meantime, here are a couple of photos. The one is a group photo taken of 41 Squadron in late September 1944 after they had transitioned to the Spit XIV from the XII. Terry Spencer was a Flight Commander with 41 at the time. The cropped photo is just Spencer.
ID’s for the 41 Squadron pilots are as follows:
On the wing: F/S Pete Hale, F/S Archie Appleton
Back Row left to right: F/S Jack Bradshaw USA, P/O Peter Gibbs, F/L Jack Refshauge RAAF, F/O Johnnie Wilkensen, F/O Don Tebbit, F/O Whippy Whipp, F/L Lord Gisborough IO, F/S Pete Fleming, F/L Chas Charnock, F/L Andy Anderson RAAF, P/O Jimmy Payne, W/O Jimmy Ware RAAF
Front Row: F/L Bill Stowe RCAF, F/O Harry Cook, F/L Ross Harding, F/L Terry Spencer, S/L Dougie Benham, F/L Jack Henry RNZAF, P/O Jackie Fisher, F/O Danny Ried, P/O Ricky Gray.
I’ll see what I can do to get copies of the Spencer 350 Squadron photos.
