First one can be found at..
Osprey Aircraft of the Aces -5
Late Marque Spitfire Aces 1942-45
Page 44 Profire 39 Spit Mk IX BS538/NL-B No. 341 Sqd Biggin Hill and can be seen here (http://www.cronologia.it/biogra2/closterm.htm).
One of his 602 birds can be seen in a painting here (http://www.flyandrive.com/images/spitfire02.jpg) and a profile of another circa June 1944 can be found http://here.
Didn't he also fly a VB? Also coded LO-D with 602?
I would not mind taking a crack at one of them, I am a big fan of Clostermann and Jacques and was thinking about doing one of his Spits. I would like to try MH526 referenced above.

And Fencer, if you are doing a Spit V don't you think it ought to be a 4th FG Spit Vb? :)

Great Idea Guppy! :O I hadn't thought of that. Sweet! :aok
MH526 is Clostermann's MkIX that he had after D-Day. Its the one he landed in Normandy.
Just don't want to step on any toes with any of this, I am the new guy here and still learning how to do these things.
Oh and Guppy, that gentleman who was going to check his photos of his time in the 475th FG for you was diagnosed with colon cancer shortly after we last talked about this. The surgery was successful and he is recovering. After I talked to his son (who is 52 :) ) to express my joy in this, he reminded me they had not forgotten my questions concerning photos and assured me that he will be getting the photos soon from dad and I will get to look through them.

Glad to hear your 475th contact is doing better. And glad that the son is still looking for the photos.
Now if you are interested in 4th Spits, you could do this one as well. Most forget that 133 Eagle Squadron, later to become 336th FS, 4th FG was one of the first to get Spit IXs. They lost 11 of them when the winds went bad on a mission to Morlaix and they all ran out of fuel. Gentile was supposed to go but didn't or he'd never have seen his 51.
Here's a profile of a 133 Spit IX from September 42. Might be worth considering to go with that 4th Spit Vb :)
The profiler messed up as he gave the IX a retractable tail wheel, but 133 did have Spit IXs not VIIIs
