hi,
a couple of questions if anyone can help from a recent visit to Cosford,-
K9942 Spitfire 1 why is the serial on the fin with sq. badge?
the Me 410 the unit badge below the cockpit, and a badge I think of a clog? on the engine cowl- what does this represent?
thanks and regards,
jack…

The Spitfire is like that because that’s how they did it prewar.

Hi Jack
The unit badge and clog represent ZG26 “Horst Wessel”, the white part is a combination of the H and W initials. The aircraft may have flown with this unit.
Someone from Medway APS should be able to help with the Spitfire.
Cheers
Simon
