Spitfires in Thailand

I have just read a very interesting article about the five Spitfires the Royal Thai Air Force had.Three are accountable for and two airframes are missing .For those interested the article(thread)can be found on http://www.thaivisa.com. Some photos there as well.Apparently the missing one has history as it was the first Spitfire to “tip”a V1!
