By 1942 surviving Mk I Spitfires were being transfered to training units, I have created 3 such Spitfire Mk Ia OTU (Operational Training Unit) repaints. They can be downloaded directly from this link.

This peculiar schemed Mk Ia was used as a 'jumper' aircraft to train RAF recruits on Luftwaffe fighter tactics. For this reason it was given a yellow nose to distinguish it as the 'enemy'.

Spitfire Mk Ia HK854. 1 Middle East Training School, Royal Air Force. El Ballah, Egypt, 1942. This aircraft was one of two Mk Ia Spitfires sent directly to Turkey in 1940. Somehow they both returned to RAF inventory in the Middle East being re-serialled as HK854 and HK856.
If you decide to give this Spitfire a flight in Egypt... good luck keeping her cool
