    Here’s a few from my collection. It might be a good idea to limit this thread in some way, otherwise if we all post a couple of photos it’s going to get very big very soon. How about doing it in year order, i.e. a thread on 1980 photos, then one on 1981 etc. or do it by type i.e. Swordfish on one thread, Hurricanes on another.

    Anyway, I shall kick off with LS326/5A at Biggin Hill, 18/5/86, doing a good impression of a 10 poster bed.

    Cheers Dan,

    When I clicked on this page, I was half expecting to see you’d done a profile of ‘KARMIE’ (bet you wish you’d kept quiet about those now 😉 )

    The pilot is Sgt Clive Roy Briggs (403011), an Aussie, he died in NSW in 1980.

    My copy of the photo came from Chris Doll, ex OiC ‘B’ flight 131 sqdn, and later TV & film producer. He was involved with the filming of ‘Battle of Britain’, but not sure how.

    Any other sightings of ‘KARMIE’?

    Geoff.

    This is the first I’ve heard of this film. What’s it all about?

    Thanks for the info Mks V & 12,

    I wonder if the photo could have been in another Spitfire book?

    My informant is convinced that there was an air-to-air shot of ‘KARMIE’ somewhere. He reckons the photo only showed the Spitfire as far back as the fuselage roundel, so the only code letters visible were ‘NX’ & not the individidual code letter.

    Geoff.

    Not to mention the episode ‘Who is pink oboe’,

    Pink oboe being a euphemism for something I can’t mention here.

    And by the way, it’s your turn next in the barrel.

    Mark12,

    Thanks for the info. I’m fairly sure I’ve got this photo somewhere.

    AB137 was almost certainly coded NX-Z, from my logbook/ORB cross-checking.

    Are there any air-to-air photos of NX coded Spitfires in the book?

    Geoff.

    Another view of ‘KARMIE’ and her pilot. s/n almost certainly AB137.
