Spitfire camouflage
Hello,
I am seeking some clarification regarding Spitfire camouflage. This is partly related to my query last week regarding an a/c serial for 253 Sqn RAF. At the following link is a well known picture of Spitfires dated July 1944. http://www.spitfiresite.com/photos/h...-in-italy.html The furthest two are Mk.V (trop) aircraft of 253 Sqn. Would these have had the standard northern European camouflage of grey/green upper and light grey underside with yellow wing leading edges OR the two tone brown desert scheme with azure blue underside? I would guess the rear fuselage band, date and theatre of operation (Northern Italy/Balkans) suggests the grey/green scheme? It also looks like the spinners are red like several other Italian based units around the same time. Any help much appreciated. Regards, Drew H
