Spitfire Wreckage E-Bay
From German E-Bay;

Looks like a 1943-1944 Spitfire casualty. The number "3" is visible for the serial number. Any ideas?

Looks to be a Mk I thru V with the small oil cooler under the left wing. The fuselage roundel looks like it has five rings of color.

Re: Spitfire Wreckage E-Bay
Then it has to be a Spitfire V. The 20mm cannons are visible.

I would add that it looks like he made a controlled landing that wadded up at the end (stall, cart wheel, etc.), it didn't fall out of the sky like that with so little damage.

Whatever, it was on the beach north of Etaples. 122 Sqn was at 0' attacking a hutted encampment near Etaples. Nobody saw what happened to him but at the height they were, no chance of baling out.

Underwing roundel is fresh (July 1942) from Type A to C.

Darker areas be likely just newer (matter) fresh paint.
