White Spitfire.

If the RAF Museum is still operating its photo sales, it is available there on neg. number P013612.

Just came across these in my files, DAZ you might be interested that the 2 New Conservators at East Fortune are currently cleaning the Spit’s (TE462) paintwork and removing the underside paint that went pink. According to them it was water based paint. It now looks blue but still a bit worn.

Daz, Page 436 of Spitfire The History has a couple of pics of the aircraft in white.
