Thought these may be of interest:
Spitfire AB188 sponsored by the Forestry Commision, lost on 22 January 1942 whilst assigned to 609 Sqn. its Belgian pilot, Flight Lieutenant Jean (‘Pyker’) Offenberg DFC, was killed in a mid air collision over Digby, Lincs.

Here she is in happier times:

That looks like a 'c' wing alright. Vc's are usually associated with tropical filters, so pictures like these are comparatively unusual. Also of interest is the distinctly soft edged camo - that would get an interesting discussion going in certain circles!

Thanks for posting Mark.

Thanks for the confirmation Paul, I thought it was a B until I noticed the Outboard cannon stub.

If anyone wants the original .jpg files for a closer look I'll be happy to e-mail them.
