Re: German film with captured Spitfire

Hi David
It would appear that there were 2 Spitfires used in propoganda films by the Germans. I do not have any dates for these films but certain that they would not have titles as such. They were made for the News-reel films for the cinema etc. The 1st Spitfire was used with a Bf109E on it's tail with the markings G-X and at the same time the same film unit also filmed ex-French H-75s with fake RAF markings. I am not sure if the Spitfire was also used in the same full length Film alongside the Hawks(Sorry cannot locate my files for the Films name). The other Spitfire used with the filming of a He111 & Do17Z was a later Mark. Again no other details for dates or identity.

Regards

Tom Willis
