Hi Pierre,

Here are three photographs I took with Steve Butte in April 2002. We visited the North Weald airfield. There is a small museum there, as you can see in the photograph, as well as a prominent memorial to the fallen aircrew who served while operating from North Weald.

Dean on the left is with Steve Butte a Spitfire pilot with 403 Squadron.

Georges Nadon is in the first row extreme left. It’s Nadon’s second tour of operations. He would end the war with 277 sorties.

This is Steve Butte again.

  1. Hello, I’m currently researching the history of Spitfire IX, MJ444, and I wonder if you can help me. The aircraft was flown by PO Stephen ‘Steve’ Butte on at least 10 occasions in October and November 1944 and I’m trying to trace his Flying Log Book for this period. I’d be very grateful for any help you could give me. Thanks, Peter
