Hi kaki3152,

on tho slink, there is visible "sky band" marking - so the date is after 11/1940 if I remember correctly.

So it fit (and serial number is visible), that this machine is Spitfire Mk. Vb W3208, which was lost 6.7.1941:

Just a comment - it's clear he crash landed on land, so why is he a Runnymede commemoration? Even if dead in the cockpit, I'd have expected a known burial?

Hi,

Spitfire W3208 was piloted by P/O Skinner - there is more info about this pilot:
