What further info do you have on this A/C and picture, Mitch? I believe it
is a SUPERMARINE SEAFIRE L. Mk.III from 887 Squadron, HMS Indefatigable, British Pacific Fleet, August 1945. Attached is a profile of No. 112 from the same squadron. No. 112, Piloted by Sub-Lieutenant G.J. Murphy shot down two Mitsubishi A6M Reisens over Odaki Bay Japan 15 Aug. 1945, scoring the last aerial victories of WWII. Also attached is a great color pic of the same squadron on the flight deck in Nov. 1945, I love the old style national insignia on No. 115's right wing. Makes for a great modeling subject. Brian
