Spitfire Mk. II, P7613, PK-Z..
Spitfire Mk. V, AB913, PK-B..
Spitfire Mk. IX, BS513, PK-Z (mentioned this one earlier, nice colour profile in the book)..

Also;

Mustang III, FB113, PK-?, it crashed during training on the 23/01/46 (I was born on that date, 23 years later), any idea when they, No. 315 Squadron, received this Mustang, during the war, was it ever camouflaged, or just natural metal, after the war.....?
