Quite a well known pictures isnt it?

Im sure its been featured in more that one Spitfire book over the years.

Not to me, PP. But am learning that, now…I have only one or two Spitfire books.. I did not see it included in the hundreds of Spitfire photos in “Spitfire” by Alfred Price. (do have mostly pre-WWII aviation library that required loading 800 crates to move five years ago, and have added to, since.)I just thought others might enjoy it, as I did. I am primarily interested in pre-WWII aircraft. While sorting through some 1800 Spitfire negatives from the Chris Ashworth collection, ( a Pre-Internet collection) I pulled out a few that were especially interesting to me, to scan…and share. (Recently spent 3 hours scanning negatives of Hastings TG 503 for Berlin Airlift Museum, that were requested on the forum. and more for Other Hastings requests that come in private messages and emails from the forum)
I also spend a LOT of hours looking through my photo/negative files (over 150,000) trying to help (at no charge) many people on the forum who request photos of specific aircraft, which I am happy to do, as others have helped me, in the past. Have sent a lot of high res photo images to researchers and buffs on the forum and learned from most of them, in return.
So, if I post/share some well-known images from the mostly-British, Ashworth Collection (and other collections of albums) please know that I am only sharing my enjoyment of them, hoping some others might find some of interest, on occassion. Been working with aviation museums fo some 40+ years now and still enjoy learning as much as I can about aviation history.I very much enjoyed your story Galdri. Thanks for posting it.
