Peter,
thanks for taking the time to explain.
"It was painted to represent a 2nd TAF Mk XIV and because the RAF serial was inknown, 'NH649', based on the Indian serial, was applied."
This is why I got confused. My only source of Spitfire serial numbers is Spitfire The History and in that book NH649 is listed as a Mk XIV which has no indian connection.
Cees refreshed my memory in his "double dutch" posting and now I remember having read about this conversion but, I can?t remember where.
