Oh dear.... a little research shows that they only used the marking GR from 1939-1940.

After that they moved to QJ until 46.


If anyone can shed any light on this spitfire i'd appreciate it. Its got me stumped now!! would love to know.

The flew blenhiems first but switched to the spitfire and used them to cover the dunkirk evacution and the battle of britain. In 42 they then moved to egypt.

I know nothing really of this squadron other than the above, stanford tuck was a damn good pilot.
