Real World Spitfire Mk.I and Mk.II Videos

Post by Bomber_12th »

As there is actually both a Mk.Ia Spitfire and a Mk.IIa Spitfire operating in England, I thought I would post some video links of these aircraft as they are displayed. The Mk.Ia, AR213, is operated by Sheringham Aviation, and the Mk.IIa, P7350, is of course operated by the BBMF and is an actual Battle of Britain combat vet. At present I know of at least one more Mk.I that is currently under restoration to flying condition as well.

Here is a video of a display by Spitfire Mk.Ia AR213

And here is a video of a display by Spitfire Mk.IIa P7350

(Note the yellow diamond painted on P7350's left wing - this represents the mustard gas warning patch that was used early on in the Battle of Britain)

Nice to see those again!

Yes, the Gas Patch was contemplated but time was against...

They were in fact used throughout the war but after the Battle of Britain, camoflage shades came out and the yellow diamond with red outline went in favour of the cam paint.
