Hi All

I’m looking for information regarding the pilots listed below for a new project.


P.J Sanders, 92 squadron
Flew Spitfire mk1’s and had kills using:

N3285
R6624
X4051

(I have seen pictures of aircraft from this squadron using the QJ- prefix)


J L Flinders, 32 squadron
Flew Hurricane mk1's and had kills when flying

N2463
L2062


H.C Baker had kills in the following
Flew Spifire mk 1’s and had kills with:

19 squadron, L1030
41 squadron R6697, X4052

As you can see, I have the pilots name, squadron and serial numbers of the aircraft they flew during the Battle of Britain but I can’t find any refernces to the squadron codes that were on their aircraft?

Can anyone help with references to what squadron codes relate to these aircraft serial numbers

Does anyone have pictures?

Was it the case that pilots were assigned to a particular aircraft or was it first pilot to any aircraft and jump in?

Many thanks in advance

Regards
Tim.

I think a letter to the RAF Museum, asking for any information from their extensive files would be a good idea.
Always be prepared to make a donation to the RAF Benevolent fund as a courtesy and a way of saying thank you,whilst they do have staff who do research these tasks are very time consuming.
Or you may be able to visit the museum to find out more ?
