The triple cross

Which Spitfire was used in the rather dramatic straffing scene in the film.I know it was a mklx with clipped wings and my guess would be mk297,the former caf aircraft.

Interesting that the post mentions Von Ryan’s Express. I’ve not seen that film in a while, but I don’t remember there being a Spitfire in it. Four Bf-108s (carrying rockets, no less!), but no Spit… :confused:

I think this has been discussed before and, if memory serves me correctly, yes it was MK297.
