The original 'QJ-K' was badly shot up in a dogfight with a ME Bf 109 during Geoffrey's first major combat of the Battle, flying from Biggin Hill on 11th September 1940 when he was just 19 years old.

Some sources say QJ-N and others QJ-H (I think QJ-H was W3314 and QJ-N confused with R6882.). So I decided to look into the Spitfire R6882 flown by Kingaby during Sping 1941. I found a letter code: QJ-N but the type of Spitfire is a mystery. Built as a Spitfire Mk.Ia but cannon wing fitt during September 1940 => becomes Spitfire Mk.Ib ? Object description. Spitfire Mark VB, R6923 QJ-S , of No 92 Squadron RAF based at Biggin Hill, Kent, banking towards the photographing aircraft. R6923 was originally a Mark I, converted to a Mark V after serving with No. 19 Squadron and No. 7 Operational Training Unit in 1940. It was shot down over the sea by a Messerschmitt Bf 109 on 22 June 1941. Two Spitfire squadrons were present - No. 19, based there throughout the Battle of Britain, and No. 616, whose home airfield was Kirton-in-Lindsey in Lincolnshire. The images taken that day are some of the most iconic of the Battle of Britain. They are a vivid testament to the courage and enduring legacy of the 'Few'. This Mark Ia Spitfire is from 92 Sqdn ('QJ' code), based at RAF Biggin Hill in September 1940. Biggin Hill was a frontline base taking the brunt of Luftwaffe attacks. Do you know what the yellow diamond marking is? I'm fairly proud of how this Spit turned out. I tried several new detailing techniques (new to me, anyway), including using a.

Spitfire R6923 QJ-S over southern England, May 1941. The Supermarine Spitfire is one of the legends of World War II. It was the backbone of the Royal Air Force during some of the darkest days of World War II. It also was admired by its Luftwaffe enemies, who could be heard by both sides on their radios yelling 'Achtung Spitfeurer! Spitfeurer. The pilot of the Spitfire in 1940 escaped and saw out the war as a prisoner - it was the aircraft's first mission. The aircraft still flies today and can be seen at the Imperial War Museum site in Duxford.
To see P7350 with the QJ codes will be much nicer if IT WAS 616 SQN. You may or not be aware but this Spitfire did fly with 616 during March-April 1941, plus it's The Sqn's 70th in November.:) Officially 616 changed its code from QJ to YQ but the order was not recieved until mid 1941- hence the confusion. As mentioned in the post on The elusive Col Tomb This is an amazing document originally published in classified form by the NSA in the 1980s for internal training, then declassified and released in 2007. It gives perspective on an amazing swathe of history through a rarely-available lens. You'll note crossed-out classification markings throughout and codewords, which denote…

Spitfire Mk IXc, EN152 / QJ-3 with No 92 (East India) Squadron Colchester, 30 January 2017 Maybe it is the relative unfamiliarity but I think there is something undeniably cool about the desert camouflage the RAF and Allies used in their combat operations in North Africa and the Mediterranean during WWII.
