Okay! Again thanks for these, had not found them in 8 years????? of searching off and on.
Now GB55!!!!!!!! is on the Horizon and I have another chance to build a G.G.Davidson 126 Sqn Spitfire.

He was posted to 412 Sqn at Digby in Autumn 1941 through to approx. September, 1942.
During this period he made several claims on the following dates.
18-5-42 1/2 -Ju88 damaged shared with P/O RA Ellis on a 'Jim Crow' shipping recce.
26-7-42 1 - Fw190 probable on Rodeo 81.
19-8-42 - Flew in Spitfire Vb, BL589 on the Dieppe Raid..
1-8-42 1 -Fw190 destroyed & 1 - Fw190 damaged on an Interception patrol.
Transferring he was only in 126 Sqn from 6th Sept, 1942 until his untimely death over Sicily 15 Nov, 1942........ 2 months!
I think his regular mount was EP310 and it was mfd Lot#038, Ser's EP275 thru EP316, Qty 42, Contract# B981687/39, at CB


So I am needing to find camo scheme for Mk.VbT EP310, 126 Sqn, Malta, 1942
or even JK611/MK-M and JK522/MK-O as in Lucky13's reply.
I am seeing conflicting combinations of Ocean Gray / Dark Green over Med Sea Gray .......or..... standard Dark Earth/Mid Stone over Azure Blue.
Can anyone enlighten me??????? Pullease!
 
A few years ago there was a book, Malta Spitfire Vs 1942. I found one on ebay. It's estimated to arrive April 7. I will check it then. BoB, Malta and ADGB were the Beautiful Bird's forte.
Is it a copyright infringement to post a single color plate if the book is out of print and I make no money on it?
 
Just give the credit as you did?
 

Don't know if this helps decide?
The book is on Youtube with page turning the whole lot.
Just difficult to read. The link:

Pages;
p49 Sqn Ops 126 Sqn,
p52 a rendition of P-MK as MK seems to be 126 Sqn,
p167 I have.
Pages 136 to p145 could have pertinent info on 126 Sqn or any of these A/C
Mk.VbT EP310, or even JK611/MK-M and JK522/MK-O of 126 Sqn
Tan or Gray camo confirmation is what I am looking for.
