Found this over on Airshow Buzz, taken (or just uploaded) by Ed Shipley.
Original Picture & a larger version can be found here:

I must admit, at first I thought it was BL628 with new codes & kill marks added, but on a closer look, it would seem that JG891 has had a repaint!
I wonder if this is just a temporary scheme?

It’s possible of course to be in VMC, and just ‘pop through’ the odd puffy bit of cu….great photo 🙂

That’s a very unusual picture, I suppose because most Spits don’t go IMC, and if they did, we wouldn’t see them! Also I am not sure how common it is to fly formation in cloud. If it were 2 or more single seaters in formation that close, it is not likely anyone could spare the attention to start waving a camera around.
Maybe it is a video still, hence the stopped prop.

Obviously still got the four cannon and clipped wingtip fit.
Not that I’m complaining, right enough. Don’t think there’s been a Spitfire in Bob Stanford-Tuck’s colours since the war!

It is the new paint scheme,not temporary.
