Nope. As mentioned, the two-seater is either MJ772 or TE308, both camera-platform/flyers in the movie. “AI-H” is perhaps a static, or either MH415, MH434 or MK297, I can’t quite make out the specifics from here (there are subtle differences!!).

Daz,

AI-H, in this case, is RW382 a taxiing ‘Markaddie’ (Mk.XVI lowback).

Hmmmm….wonder if that’s Greenwood’s T. Mk. 9 in both shots of the two seater with different side codes applied?

Mark

Here are the known codes, supported by photographic evidence, used by the Greenwood Spitfire in the BoB film. Just one, AI-B, visible in the background of library video might just be MJ772, ‘wounded’ early on in the filming.

Mark

Flying T.IX TE308
AI-B S Duxford (MJ772?)
AI-E 20 P Duxford
AI-E 0 S Duxford
CD-A S Cambridge
CD-D 20 P
CD-F S
CD-J P Debden
CD-K – P Cambridge
CD-K – S Cambridge
CD-O 20 P Duxford CD-O S

DO-K – P Duxford
DO-L S Duxford
