Re: Seeking ID of 1940 Captured Spitfire

It seems this is Spitfire Ia X4260 XT-D - 603 Sqn, shot down and force-landed in a field near Guines 06.09.1940, P/O J.R.Caister POW

Another photo of this aircraft could be found in the book "Spitfire vs Bf109E" by Tony Holmes (Osprey Publishing, Duel series no.5). In this book this aircraft pictured on the same airfield alongside Bf109E, also similar bent propeller blades of the Spitfire and their position
