: Hi All,
:
: I don?t have a good source of information for Spitfire, sp
: ecifically their models, and serial and construction numbe
: rs. I was hoping people here could answer a few miscellan
: eous questions for me.
:
: #1 MA793 is (or was) marked as EN398. What model was EN3
: 98?
:
: #2 MH434 is owned by the Old Flying Machine Company. Fro
: m what I can tell it had a number of paint schemes over th
: e years including the markings ?ZD B?, ?AV H? and ?CK D?.
: Does anyone know the chronology of the schemes?
:
: #3 MH592 is on display at the Yugoslav Aeronautical Museu
: m. It is (or was) marked at JK808. Is JK808 a valid RAF
: Spitfire s/n? If so, what model was JK808?
:
: #4 NH649 belongs to the War and Resistance Museum in the
: Netherlands. It once was belonged to, or was operated by,
: the Indian Air Force. What was the IAF serial number ass
: igned to this airframe?
:
: #5 NH799 was once operated by the Alpine Fighter Collecti
: on in New Zealand. It too once belonged to, or was operat
: ed by, the Indian Air Force. What was the IAF serial numb
: er assigned to this airframe?
:
: #6 I have an old post card (Valentine's Post Card 38A-29C
: ) that features Spitfire P9450. I don?t know if it surviv
: ed the war or what it?s fate was. I assume it is a Mk II.
: What was the exact model of P9450? (Mk IIb for example)
:
:
: If you have any answers to these questions please let me k
: now?
