…a thumbnail in the ‘flyer’ for ‘Military Times’ inserted in the current Flypast, appears to show Mk XVI Spitfire RW382.
But closer examination shows a code N-GC over large and right forward to the windscreen.
Having photographed RW382 extensively in the UK, USA and the crash remains it never to my knowledge carried a spurious code such as this.
For a journal that boasts ‘Taking you closer’, ‘Expert Analysis’ and ‘Remarkable Research’ what is going on here?
Mirror imaged?
Can anybody who has the journal please advise what the caption says.

It looks as though the image in the mag was reversed
Spot on I would say.
Art director wanted a shot with it going left to right and photo researcher couldn’t find one the art director liked as much as this shot.

It looks so wrong ,perspective and size incorrect.

Pitot is traditionally to be found under the port wing…
Amateur photoshop job, especially the lettering. 😮
Wouldn’t get away with that at my work…

Good grief its not as if the correct fonts are hard to find… or even if its hard to do…!
Whoever did that should be ashamed… 🙂

It looks as though the image in the mag was reversed, compared with the side view below it, and as the codes would be back to front, new ones rather poorly photoshoped in.

100% photoshopped (poorly!!)
The ‘N’ does not follow the contours of the fuselage, its appears flat (same with the GC)
The captions do not relate to the main picture. (far left: Boulton Paul Defiant and left: Spitfire production …….)
