Paul,

I have that list and this is the only one I can find from the Write off Categories that landed near Ambala. but the distance seems to be too far.

23-May-1947 Spitfire VIIIc Plt Offr A D'Cruz AFS(I) MV459 engine cut, BL in river bed at Mullana village, 10m from Ambala

Now got to see if Mullana Village and Markanda river are the same places. Also there could have been some Cat repariable one left behind - I dont have that list.

Dave,

I agree with the villagers doing a better job - nothing better than manual work on your hands and feet. However displaying the wreck in the village is not suggested. Better place would be Ambala AFS ,for it was home to considerable spitfire flying in the 40s and 50s
