Hi all,
about twenty years ago I bought a Triumph Spitfire from a chap who said he bought it from a chap who never actually drove it, was in the RAF was going to ship it out to Germany, but was killed there in a crash.
I have the original 67 log book, and the name of the first owner is Christopher W King.
A Christopher W King was killed in a Canberra crash in 71. (WT366). The timescale, the name in the logbook (which is in itself a thing of beauty) and the timescale of the new owner fits. However the story is circumstantial.
Has as anyone any idea of how I could maybe confirm the 2 people are the same person. Though only a MKIII Spitfire, it is quite a rare one, and has a few unique features that were actually factory fitted.
I am just a PPL holder myself, I’d love to know if my car really does have this connection.
