Thanks Gerry,

I’ll try and arrange a visit. It sounds like a treasure trove of information. I had no idea that this forum would provide me with so much help and so many answers in such a short time. Really glad I joined.

Regards,

Glenn

Hi Gerry,

Thank you again, you’re a mine of information. I’ve just looked at that site and amazed doesn’t come close. Excuse me if I’m being thick but is that list of aircraft the ones that Bob flew personally? It’s probably self evident but my brain is doing cartwheels at the moment.
That photo of him was obviously taken during his brief spell with 65 squadron in November 1941. I’ve tried to look up the Asansol Spitfire to see whether it was a MkII or a MkV, as they were re equipped with MkV’s in October 1941, but have drawn a blank

Regards,

Glenn

Sorry Gerry, after reading your reply several times I now see that you got the information from the ORB. I was too busy looking at the serial numbers. After receiving such a wealth of information could I be so bold as to ask whether the aircraft codes were listed along with the serial numbers.

Regards,

Glenn

Hi again Janie. Just realised I don’t know how to edit the thread title, duh. Can you help please?

Glenn

Wow Paul, thank you so much for that information. I had no idea that he’d had a previous service number. I’m very grateful to you for letting me know.

Regards

Glenn

Thanks for your reply Antoni, that’s something I didn’t know. What I’m looking for though is Bobs callsign letter. I’ve found some from other Spitfires but can’t find his. The ones I’ve found are as follows:

K9926—RN-B
K9932—SD-N
K9934—SD-K
K9937—SD-B

K9940—RN-Q

L1056—RN-K
