| I have "Six Aces" upstairs - think there's some codes in there. Can't get at it for a few hours though, wife & baby sleeping... |

| Hi: DW-U DW-T DW-F above are 610 Squadron. The book lists the claims made on these aircraft. EB-E EB-B above are 41 Squadron. Ditto re: claims. I'm positive I've seen one of Tony Gaze's Spitfires as a current Aussie warbird, somewhere in QLD. Will look for link. What part of Sydney are you in? Artarmon here, near Chatswood. |

| Mhuxt, Thanks for your info, and apologies for the slow delay. If you have some profiles, that would be good, but I'll keep looking. I didn't know there were any Mk14's flying in Oz. I'm real close to you, just over in Cremorne. I've just taken a break from the easel, having remembered I posted this enquiry. Cheers, Steve

| Hiya Steve: The aircraft I linked to isn't a flyer, so far as I know. Still under restoration IIRC. I had a look in the Shores/Thomas 2nd TAF books - Tony Gaze's EB-E was SM823. Will have a look for the other serials if you like - let me know. Cremorne's a nice little part of the world, though I really only know the stretch along Military Road with all the Japanese eateries. Cheers, Mark |

| Thanks again Mark. I just realised that I have a copy of 'Six Aces' - I'll check it tonight. I'm on the Middle Harbour side of Cremorne - very quiet, water glimpses etc.. Wouldn't mind a change though. Cheers, Steve
