Early 1960’s!!!!
Incident happened Monday June 19th 1961. Pilot bailed out and landed at Pampisford. Aircraft did come from Wethersfield. 14 people slightly injured on ground
Date allows me to find a hit on Joe Baughers serial site
North American F-100D-65-NA Super Sabre
56-2971 c/n 235-69 (20th TFW/77th TFS) Crashed 2.5 miles north-east of Duxford, England Jun 19, 1961 following in-flight fire after takeoff from Wethersfield AB. Pilot ejected safely
Was th Japanese Pilot Mr. B. Yamamoto ?
Is this the first memory in which the aircraft is believed to not be a Spitfire! when it actually was?
Mystery Solved!
Thanks for all your efforts!

Thanks

Thanks for update on P9372
Paul
All that is needed is P9372 to complete the set! Not impossible. 😉
Old Flypast post from a well known Spitfire expert
“However both P9372 and P9373 (The ‘Time Team’ Spitfire) have been recovered and yielded plates indicating the cockpit/fuselage construction number.”
So P9372 has been recovered?? This was lost on 9th Sept 1940, when flown by P/O W.C.Watling of No 92 He baled out wounded (burned). The aircraft must of crashed near Biggin Hill
Howabout the worse two are LA546 and LA564 years of confusion with those
AND the C/N are in sequence as well !!!!!!!!! Which is even more suprising!
Making 5
1 G-BWEM RX168 SEAFIRE LIII

3 G-CFGJ N3200 SPITFIRE I
4 G-CFGN P9373 SPITFIRE I
5 G-MKIA P9374 SPITFIRE I
Prehaps a change of name to
3 Mark One, 1 Mark Two and 1 Mark 3 Partners?
Air Britain Aeromilitaria has Sgt Townsend (Safe) in P9429 with 611 Sqn but while saying it collided with R6914 on this date, there is NO reference to a collision in the history of R6914
Lovell was wounded in P9429 on an earlier date (28th July 1940) while with 41 Sqn
Sgts Whites, Walker and Kelly were allowed in the picture because they could not think up a suitable nicknames!:dev2:
