Re: Crashed Spitfire photo identification No.611 Sqd

Hi,
Photo is very sad to see.

However, the tail band also places the a/c crash after November 40.

So as to the camoflage, can it be said to be the Dark Green and Ocean Grey or the earlier Dark Green and Dark Earth colours ?

Quote from "Camoflage & Markings" text to profile of FY-B EN133
"Standard day fighter scheme from mid May 1942. Type C and C.1 roundels, 24 inch square standard fin flash. Sky spinner, 18 inch fuselage band, code and aircraft letters. Introduced on production lines from 21st May 1942. Ocean Grey and Dark Green, most commonly used".

I have no idea as to where these "Fatal" came down, someone else can come up with the crash place perhaps.
Mk. IX unless otherwise noted.
