The letters and numbers on the ANAF Spitfire were borrowed from the Log Book of the Spitfire piloted by WWII veteran Philip Bodnarchuk, of Vernon, who served in the RCAF and Canadian Army under service number J26835. Mr. Bodnarchuk reportedly flew with the Polish squadron and was shot down but survived until the age of 79 when he passed away on January 18, 1996.
