Spitfire ..169 at Clifton airfield.
At 15.30hrs on 15th January 1945 this aircraft lost its propeller on the runway at Clifton airfield while in the care of No.4 Delivery Flight. The incident and aircraft identity is given in the Clifton airfield flying control logbook (AIR16/605) but it is identified purely as "169". The likely serial number may have been one of BS169, ML169, MV169, PL169 or TB169. The service history of BS169 has it with the Central Gunnery School around this time and they were based at Catfoss. This is perhaps the best fit for it being at Clifton.
Pilot - F/Lt Maksimovitch.
