Rare Spitfire Colour Photo - When/Where?...

Stumbled on this photo and thought someone may know when/where they were taken. They were shot by LIFE magazine possibly summer 1941? Spit still in brown/green with early spinner...Mk II perhaps????

One for Andy Saunders I think...

My guess is Hornchurch:-)

Re: Rare Spitfire Colour Photo - When/Where?...

I think this has been discussed here before?

I suspect it is probably a 54 Squadron machine, but thats as much as I can offer I'm afraid.

Others may have better ideas about this quite well-known photo.

Thanks for posting it.

Andy is right, this has been discussed here before.

Have a look at this thread Phil:
