Guppy, as always
And Kev:
Our Icelander Tony Jonsson flew Gibraltar-Malta-Algiers in November 1942.
It was 111 sqn and the aircraft were Spitfire Vb trop (vokes filter).
They were assembled out of the crates at Gibraltar.
The flight involved an escort of VIP's on one leg, which wasted a lot of fuel.
At least one of them made an emergency landing on the African coast, - Mac Gilmour was the name, a Scotsman I think.
My data on this is only the autobiographies of Tony Jonsson and the SQN leader, Anthony Bartley.
Was wondering if you guys have more data on that particular flight, and about the action in the med in november 1942.
I am short of books there.
