Spitfire R7154 - Accrington, Church and Oswaldtwistle

It would appear that our Spitfire had a short and uneventful life.


First flight, 26 February 1941

Received by 12 MU, 1 March 1941

Accepted by 124 Squadron RAF, 7 May 1941


Pilot: Sgt Kilburn.


Engine failed South west of Cape Wrath, force landed Sandwood Bay, Sutherland, The pilot Sgt Kilburn safe.' Aircraft struck off charge, 30 March 1942


124 Sqn was reformed with Spitfire Mk 1's at Castletown, in the extreme north of Scotland, for the defence of Scapa Flow, on 10 May 1941.


Many thanks to Laurie & Geoff
