Re: Crashed Spitfire photo identification No.611 Sqd

The Spitfire in the photo features early style windscreen with external bullet proof glass panel. This excludes any Mk IXs. It also excludes EE732 and W3838 which, although Mk Vs, were built in batches of aircraft with late style windscreens. The Sky band around the fuselage excludes any aircraft before December 1940 (as was already mentioned here).
