    Ok thanks Peter, I have a great fondness for these presentation Spitfires, the book ‘Gifts of War’ have made all of the difference in my research. I am lucky enough to own the actual compass used in X4616 and it takes pride of place on the wall in my living room.

    Regards

    Just to confuse things a bit, I have a photo of Sgt Hugh Bowen-Morris of 92 Sqn sitting in the cockpit of Falkland Islands III. The aircraft has QJ codes but unfortunately the serial cannot be seen.

    Hi Peter
    I wonder if you could help in my research into Falklands Island IV X4616, this was sent to 92 Squadron in October 1940 and was badged as QJ-R, could it be that this is in fact the picture in the photograph? I have a picture of this plane with Ralph (Titch) Havercroft standing alongside, this was taken at Manston in February 1941. Any help here would be much appreciated.

    Best Regards

    Mat
