    Further to the info earlier a quick call to the old man (it is his copy of the book) RS-T is the 3rd Spitfire and UZ-A is the middle one although no serial is given. The photo is believed to be taken around the 12 Feb 1942 and in Belgium. I hope that helps.
    I will have a scan through the book next time I’m there (in about a fortnight).

    Spitfires ‘somewhere in Germany’. ….

    I think this image and a number of others of such images apear in a PSL book “In Enemy Hands” IIRC.

    EDIT:
    The book also features the recovery of Tuck’s Spitfire IIRC but could be wrong as not looked at the book for ages.

    Grey don’t worry I remember watching Noggin too. There were times I’m sure my dad was enjoying it more than me though!

    I seem to remember seeing a ‘Luton Major’ in the early seventies which was a widened Minor, still open cockpit but side by side seating. It was just a scaled up Minor and not tandem like your photos.
    Now what could that have been?

    I think you’ll find it to be the Luton Minor III Duet G-AYTT

    John Aeroclub. What was the last registration letter of
    Gemini. My records have me flying G-AKKD at some time, as well as KHK, IHM, KHY, KEL and KGE. My ffirst instructional flight was in Magister G-AJDR which I believe finished up at Shuttleworth. I also flew a hooded Maggie G-AIUF and Mesenger G-ALAP.
