OK..
Not sure about the ‘last combat bit’
The last combat I can find for a Spitfire XIV is NH691 on 27th April (shot down by Ju-88) but the Australian pilot was killed in that one, so that does not seem to work.
A Spitfire XVI of 430 Sqn (TB754) was shot down by FW190’s on 23rd April – But that is the wrong mark and it landed on an autobahn
Another XVI (SM664) of 443 (RCAF) was shot down on the 21st April 1945 (pilot killed)
There were other combats, but based on the evidence. Australian Pilot, (safe) and type: Mark XIV
I would guess at:
19th April 1945
RN203 of 130 Sqn, piloted by F/O V Murphy RAAF (combat with Fw190s)
AM I Cold/Warm/Hot??
