Okay, I need help from our personal brain trust.
F/L A.H.Davidson, 601 Sqn. 1945, Mk.IX Spitfires.
I have him flying known serial and code # A/C.
MJ909-UF@M
PT641-UF@F
PT761-UF@G
PT935-UF@A
Color of these aircraft in 1945, I have conflicting
info and photos. Depicted as Earth/Green and Silver.
Hoping someone can clear this up for this old man.
Both gleaned from the web.
 
All pics of the 601 Squadron Spits I have found show them in 1944. It can be noticed that the camo was the standard RAF day fighter one rather that consisted of the Dark Green/Ocean Grey/Medium Sea Grey. Also it can be found that the spinners were of the red and no Sky band on the rear fuselage area. However in the image with the UF-G and UF-Q the remnants of the band on the UF-G fuselage can be noticed. The UF-Q Spitfire is of the NMF so it may mean that there could be other planes of the finish type in the squadron.



the pic source: Supermarine Spitfire MkIX, MJ532/ UF-G, 601 Squadron RAF

However looking at the image and judging by the colour of the code letters the Desert camo type could be possible.

 
Yes I d o have that A.H.D. list and types by the serials. I am in a quandary over which was BM.
And therein lies the quandary, A.H.D. did not pilot the Q Mk.IX. i guss I may be a little pedantic, but!? So we'll see what we can find. Thanks guys.
