Spitfire 9 is on a distinguished road
Re: Crashed Spitfire photo identification No.611 Sqd

Hi VoyTech !

Thanks for that, you are right.

I have since found several publications which feature this aircraft including 'Spitfire at War' Alfred Price, which shows a close-up shot from exactly the same photo I have.

There is also an air to air shot in 'Spitfire Remembered' Philip Moyes.

Mervyn.
