Gladiator II N2306 presents some problems of identity. The official movement record is deficient in that it shows it was delivered on 7 February 1939 and went to 605 Squadron in April, being passed on to 615 Squadron in October. The last of its Gladiators departed in May 1940 but there is no detail on the record until 27 March 1942 when it is shown as being repaired on site. There are no write-off details. However it is known to have carried code UG-R in May 1940 with No.16 Squadron (N2304 was UG-D) supplementing its Lysanders and in September 1940 was with 239 Squadron until January 1942.
The photo from Andy Thomas shows N2306 at Hartfordbridge (later Blackbushe) in late 1942. It has an interesting tail marking consisting of a "V" with "A" in the top segment and two "C"s on either side of the base. Is this a personal code or could the fact that 239 was an army co-operation unit mean that the aircraft was later held as a hack in Army Co-operation Command?
