Apologies if this has been discussed before, but were the Spitfires featured in the TV series “Over Here” ever pictured all together?
I did have a picture on the PC of MH434 and PL965 in their “Over Here” markings airborne together (and I think this was originally cribbed from “Spitfire – Flying Legend” and put on someone’s website), and there was Septic’s recent pic of AR501 as WO-L, but what of the others?
Also, what about the two Bf109s (G-USTV and D-FEHD) which shot up the “American airbase” in the programme?

I found this, and doubt I would read it, but someone here might – a fan has carried on the story of Over Here’s main characters

There is also a photo of MH434 and PL965 in flight together on page 68 of Flypast March 1996, as WO-A and WO-F respectively. Could be the photo you referred to. This accompanies an article by the late Robert Rudhall so I assume he took the photo as no other credit is given.

Dave
I’ve seen the first one (although I think this was a different issue – seem to recall the article was about Spitfire operation??) but I don’t think I’ve seen the second.
Can’t recall much about that series, except the low-flying stuff with MH434 still in her 222 Sqn markings, the airfield attack, and the “friendly fire” incident with MH434 and Sally B!

Daz,
Some references –
Aeroplane Monthly December 1995 has WO-P, WO-A (MH434) and WO-F (PL965) all lined up on page 7 in a snippet about the vinyl lettering.
There us an article about the series in Flypast Nov 1995 page 9, which has PL965 (WO-F) landing in one photo, and MH434 (WO-A) in another next to the Blenheim.
