Many reasons, I guess; possibly be the first time he saw/photographed a Spitfire. Maybe the wreck was in an out of the way place, or it was a trophy left in situ by the Germans. Was it dragged to another location?
Are you implying the publication date is close to the date it was photographed? What if the film was developed later or the image put aside and used later?
You really now have my curiosity over the identity of this Spit.
