Hi
Please excuse this request for help but I am unable to do a profile myself and need one urgently for a museum project, to honour a Battle of Britain Ace Pilot. a model maker is making a Spifire MKI in the design we need but needs the details of the paint schem to proceed.
In 1990 the BBMF painted Spitfire AB910 to represent Bens Spitfire X4559 EB-J, of 41 Squadron with the Guinea Pig Club logo painted on the side. This was the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, we have a booklet in our possession, from J & JK Publishing a project of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, by their historian the late Campbell P Gunston, Project Three Supermarine Spitfire MkVb AB910 of The BBMF, representing Guinea Pig Club Pilot Squadron Leader G.H. Bennions DFC of 41 Squadron by Campbell P Gunston. ISBN: 1900511754. This booklet is still for sale on Amazon, I have searched everywhere, without success to get a picture of this project for our display, and the BBMF say its not in their archives
So we are having a model made to go along with this booklet in the display. If any one could help we would be very grateful, a profile can be found at the link below to give an idea of what we need.
The Pilots of 41 Squadron RAF, 1939-1945

Mike
