SKIN: Spit Mk I, 92 Sqn RAF
« on: February 26, 2008, 05:29:45 PM »
Spitfire Mk I P9372, coded GR-G of No. 92 Sqn RAF, Hornchurch, circa June 1940.  P9372 was operated over France during the Dunkirk evacuation.

Dark Green/Dark Earth uppers in the A scheme, Aluminum undersides with wings in the Night/White ID markings.  Standard 56" type B roundels on upper surface of wings with 35" type A fuselage roundels with 5" red centers.  The yellow outer ring had yet to be added.  As the aircraft was operating over the French mainland, 45" type A roundels were applied to the under surface of the wings, the port one with a thin yellow surround.  No fin flashes were carried.  Note the gas detection square on the port wing.

I always wondered what that was, seen it on a lot of pics over the year. I just thought it was an off-color battle damage patch.
Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.
