    Pilots and their aircraft

    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 ?
