I don’t know if this one has been covered here before, but I noticed it on Flickr today:
FAA Seafire Mk.I, c1943. by Etienne du Plessis, on Flickr
The image is longer originally but the owner has only posted this bit so far (or a lower resolution version here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/8270787@N07/3032770628)
It is labeled as:
“FAA Seafire Mk.I, c1943. A Seafire and Corsair at HMS Fledgling at Mill Meece in Staffordshire. WRENS were trained there as naval aircraft mechanics ( although here all seems to be men).”
It is great to see all the details and the weathered finish on these airframes!

I must have missed that thread the first time round, thanks!

It’s a cropped image. Well known.
