His mother and widow raised £5,700 in North Derbyshire and South Yorkshire to buy a Spitfire, which was to be Spitfire Mk Vb W3649. Tragically, his sister Jeanne had been killed on 17 October 1939 when the S Yorkshire was torpedoed, and his older brother George was killed on 31 May 1940 when his Lysander II of 16 Squadron was shot down in error over Dunkirk by Spitfires.

A thread over on Flypast Historic Aviation forum a few years ago (2013) was regarding « Falkland Islands Spitfires », and mentioned that one of the ten paid for by the Falkland Islanders, was allocated to 602 Squadron.
I Have a copy of the log books of S/L John Niven DFC* and a quick check of the Log Book for 1941 revealed that he flew X4615 during April, May and June of 1941.
The list was:-
Falkland Islands 1 – X4614 was a Mk1a and went initially to 66 squadron at Gravesend in October 1940 and then on to 92 squadron.
2- was X4615. went to 616 squadron in October 1940 and then on to 610 squadron. (Although this is recorded elsewhere as « X4615. 610/602/61 OTU/ Cv VA/121/332/164/Cv PR.XIII. To Admiralty 5.3.44 »)
3- X4617. Went to 616 squadron in October 1940 and then on to 65 squadron.
4- X4616. went to 92 squadron in October 1940.
5- X4622. Went to 222 squadron in November 1940.
6- X4619. Went to 602 squadron. (Recorded elsewhere as « X4619. 58 OTU/73 OTU. SOC 27.7.44 »)
7- X4620. Went to 611 Squadron.
8- X4642. Went to 609 Squadron in October 1940.
9- X4613. Went to 603 squadron in October 1940 and then on to 266 squadron.
10- X4643. Went to 72 squadron in October 1940.

Bob
