Default Re: WWII RECON Spitfire



Similar PR Mk.XI version of the photo-reconaissance Spitfire in the film, this one in RAF markings with D-Day invasion stripes. Note the deeper 'chin' underneath the propeller that was required to fit a larger 14.5 gallon oil tank required for the long-range, long duration flights the photo-recon Spits flew. Photo via Wikipedia.
