Re: First Captured Flyable Spitfire
Chris,
I was under the impression the P9317, 222 Squadron was the first flyable Spitfire I. Not sure about the reason it made a wheels down landing. I have about ten or more pictures of this A/C and there doesn't appear to be any visible battle damage.

Re: First Captured Flyable Spitfire
Falkus suffered battle damage and landed at Le Touquet but what happened then to his ac is not known. It reinforces my assumption that the first guaranteed flyable Spitfire was Hardy's as there are photos of it in German markings; I have seen no other Mk Is marked so?
