My name is Neil Medcalf; I am an aviation enthusiast and amateur historian. I am currently researching the two seat trainer versions of the Supermarine Spitfire for a book on this variant of this most famous of aircraft. I would like to inquire about any possible assistance that anyone might be able to give me with this project.
At this point I am trying to learn more about the Irish Air Corps use of these aircraft. Photos are useful, as well as documented flight time. Other IAC doucuments such as accident reports, newpaper articles, transfers, maintance logs etc. are all helpful. I am interested in the IAC service history, their current history is known to me. Your personal recollections are just as important, as it will help document their movements, and give "flavour" to the data.
If you know of anyone who could be of help, please forward my name and address to them. Thank you for your help in documenting this rare variant of the Spitfire. I also run a small web site devoted to this aircraft at www.canadianguitarist.ca/tnine . You will find below, a list of the aircraft involved by their Irish Air Corps serial numbers with the corresponding RAF Serials. Thank you all very much.
