Spitfire PR.XI PL954

[COL BRUGGY]

Hello,

Would be most appreciative if someone with a copy of A-B's PA100 to RZ999 Volume, could supply a full service history of Spitfire PR.XI PL954.

Have details from: http://www.spitfires.ukf.net/p088.htm

and some other info, but curious as to what the Register has to say.

Thanks,

Col.
