A A58-631, No. 457 Squadron, Morotai, Borneo, April 1945
The spinner of this plane was red when operating from Morotai base. Later, after relocation to Labuan, was the spinner painted Sky Blue and white leading

original serial, roundel and Sky band were overpainted. There were also shaded ot eyes belonging to the previous smaller sharkmouth.

 JF470, 31st Fighter Group, 308th Fighter Squadron, Fano Air Base, Italy,
B 1944 – 1945
The 31st Fighter Group flew Spitfire Mk.Vs, Mk.VIIIs and Mk.IXs from June, 1943 till March, 1944. The Group was subsequently re-equipped with P-51
Mustangs but a few Spitfires were retained as hacks. Mustangs flown by this FG had red-yellow stripes on the wing tips. The red color was usually closer
to the wingtips, but it is not clear if the red color position was the same on this Spitfire. The wingtip appears to be yellow in available photos. The camouflage
is probably that for high altitude fighters and consists of Medium Sea Grey on upper and PRU blue on lower surfaces. Note the clipped wings.
