Does anyone know the code letter he carried on his aircraft during the battle of Britain and shot down two BF109s in?

Jeffrey Quill
Hello Chaps,
Spitfire YT-J R6775

Jeffrey Quills Spitfire is included in part of the Battle of Britain Memorial at Capel le Ferne. This full scale model was unveiled a couple of years ago with members of the Quill family in attendance.
As Oxcart has already stated this spitfire is also coded YT-J, therefore I agree that YT-J is accurate.
Hope this helps
Gerry

In his autobiography, he says he was allotted Spitfire ‘YT-J’ whilst at 65 squadron and a few pages later mentions shooting down a ‘109. So I am assuming it was that one, but no doubt someone will come along with the definitive facts!
