Re: German Spitfire
Not the left hand two, which is a Mk IX or XII or thereabouts. (Someone will put me right!)

I think I have seen a colour shot of this later Spit in German markings somewhere before.

Re: German Spitfire
Rather looks like a Mk XI ( certainly not IX or XII !)

Re: German Spitfire
Peglar - the Spitfire on the right is indeed N3277 and is a Spitfire Mk I. It has nothing to with the Spitfire in the other two images.

Re: German Spitfire
Peglar: Are you saying the photos came from Ernst-Albrecht Schulz or he 'shot' the Spitfire down?

Re: German Spitfire
Could be American PRU Spit MK XI MB945 from Mount Farm. On March 1, 1944 this Spit was listed as FTR (failed to return) from a mission to Aschersleben and Brunswick. Pilot was Lt. Franklyn Van Wart, 14th Squadron, 7th Photo Group. He became a POW.

Re: German Spitfire
No, it is a well-known example and the serial is given above.

More generally, it is worth a look here: http://www.luftwaffe-experten.org/fo...?showtopic=310

Re: German Spitfire
Good info here regarding captured Spitfires, including colour shots of the Mk1 AZ-H and later mark Spitfire.
