Flt.Lt. J.R. Huntington AFC DFM.
Chugalug and Brian 48nav,
Checked "Vengeance's" comprehensive Index - nothing, and the name means nothing to me.
But that is not conclusive: Peter C. Smith deals very largely with 82 Sqdn, and there were three other RAF VV Sqdns, together with two IAF ones.
But, as I understand, our man was not commissioned until after the war, he would certainly not have been posted to an IAF Sqdn, which only had officer pilots.
So the trace is cold at my end, I'm afraid.
YLSNED - I'm surprised that (somewhere) somebody said that he was flying Mark II Spits out there. Could he have meant Mark 22s (or Mk XXIIs if you like). The IAF had Mk.XIVs in late '44 !
And I've always thought that the two-blade Mk.1s had all been replaced by three-blade props before the BoB. Not so, it seems.
So the odd patch on the wing is a gas-detector ! (why didn't I know that ?)
Cheers, Danny.
