    Another "odd" photo. The digit 5 indicates some kind of training unit but none is officially known for this aircraft. Taken to Africa onboard the vessel S/S Empire Liberty (19 Sep 1942) via Takoradi, Ghana (9 Nov 1942) assigned to 601 Sq in the desert and struck off charge 5 Jan 1943. This leaves a very narrow time frame for this aircraft to be with anything else than the 601st. Looking at some other ER27x aircraft, none really fits the bill either. I would welcome further input on this one. Stig

    With the digit 2 seen here, EP822 surely must belong to the same training unit as ER272 (previous Spitfire). Unfortunately it makes me no wiser since it left with S/S Atlantic City (8 Sep 1942), arriving into some "Middle East" port (12 Nov 1942) and being assigned to 601 Sq and later 241 Sq. Anyone who knows more? Stig
