Can anyone here provide the 64 Squadron's Mustang III markings?

I have a 1974 copy of Mustangs at War – with several pictures of RAF Mustangs – but no 64 Sqdn.

Just 2, ,4, 19, 26, 63, 126, 168 ,241, 309, 316, 430 and 613,

Thanks Jerry we will need to see what we can find…

Watch out for the giant halibut!

Hi Steve,
I was in the UK when researching 126 & 64 Sqn, and luckily by chance came across the squadron associations, and was able to get a list of all they new off ,which led to a few others as well.
I doubt if I still have the list of addresses and most probably it would not still be accurate after all these years, some I know have passed on, from info on various boards,etc.
None of the photos I saw were from IWM etc, all private collections,some I copied, some were actually given to me as they were about to be disposed off, sadly I did nothing out of my area of interest,( like the photos before and after harrowbeer), this looking back, I regret.
cheers

Well Jerry you and John seem to live just around the corner from each other perhaps you two can get together to remember where you saw those photos? To my knowledge the photos of 126Sqn Spitfires at Harrowbeer are at the IWM and there are a couple of partial shots of Bird-Wilson’s Mustang in the IWM but I thought that was taken at Bentwaters. I have never seen photos of 64Sqn Mustangs at IWM?

Any clues would be very welcome

Steve

Hi
I think at least one exists / existed.
Going back about 15+ years ago, I was researching 64Sqn & 126 Sqn during their stay at harrowbeer ’44.
But I seem to recall having seen photos of mustangs of 64 / 126 also HB-W, in amongst the all the various photos I saw, there was even plenty of pre/post harrowbeer stuff.
But at the time I was only interested in the harrowbeer months with spitfires, so I never got / copied any photos, only wish i had more time & money then.

Or a scanner & a laptop, like nowadays….
…. what photos we all could have copied then ……

cheers
Jerry

As far as I’m aware, no photographs of 64 Sqn Mustangs showing the ‘SH’ code letters exist.
