Re: A/c - Somewhere in Italy 1945
PR photos were often taken with film sensitive to the infrared, so that red on them might stand out in ways not expected in most of the photos we see. Remember that by 1945 all RAF wing roundels should have been changed to r/w/b: perhaps not always in the correct proportions. Also white does sometimes "flood" such photos making roundels appear odd in proportion. Perhaps one or a mixture of these three reasons is responsible for the odd appearance of this picture.
Looks very much like a Spitfire to me.
