I AM compiling a book on the history of Supermarine Spitfire Vb BM597 and the people involved with the plane. I should like to contact anyone who served at RAF Church Fenton or lived nearby during this aircraft's time as gate guardian,

I would especially like copies of any photographs that may exist for inclusion in the book to be published later next year. The aircraft was painted with the letters PRO on the sides - the code for 609 (County of Yorkshire) Squadron.
