Hello,
I wanted to build an aircraft flown by Donald E. Kingaby: the Spitfire Vb W3320 "The Darlington Spitfire" when he was in the 92 Sqn during the summer of 1941. But I have not found enough reliable information about its code letter: QJ-? Some sources say QJ-N and others QJ-H (I think QJ-H was W3314 and QJ-N confused with R6882...).
So I decided to look into the Spitfire R6882 flown by Kingaby during Sping 1941... I found a letter code: QJ-N but the type of Spitfire is a mystery. Built as a Spitfire Mk.Ia but cannon wing fitt during September 1940 => becomes Spitfire Mk.Ib ? And a Merlin45 engine fitted between February and March 1941 before being tranferred in 92 Sqn...=> Becomes Spitfire Mk.Vb ?

Must I build R9882 as a standard Mk.Vb when she was at 92 Sqn ?
TIA, best regards
