Hello Chaps,
Could you please help me to identify the spitfires that F/Lt Hughes from No 234 Squadron used during the Battle of Britain.
He used X4036 AZ-D the same as P/O Robert Doe to achieve some victories and he was killed in action in X4009.
Do you know the serial numbers and code letters of his spitfires?
Thanks in advance.

I am in contact with a relative, Greg Hughes, in Australia and will alert him to your quest although I suspect he may not be able to help very much although you never know!
