Pub Photo Quiz – Spitfire

A quiz with a difference. Imagine you have drunk too much Spitfire ale, and someone gives you a pile of photos of spit cockpits to identify, bravely with your bleary eyes you have a go- good luck!

A more unusual angle on a Spitfire cockpit 😉 Hot off the press – taken this morning. Any guesses on an identity? The Marks are banned, as is everyone I’ve spoken to today 😉

Thanks Rocketeer.

Should have got 434!

Btw, when was the shot of ML417 taken?

The only reason I recognised that one was because I had seen a cockpit photo of it in “Spitfire – Living Legend” which was taken at the time of it’s restoration.

Although some things have changed in when your photo was taken, the red low level fuel lights for the extra wing tanks gave it away!

Cheers

Paul

It has changed alot since then, I took this the winter before she (sadly) left these shores…..I have lots of cockpit shots of lots of Spits if anyone wantsany
