Currently with the Southampton Hall of Aviation (Solent Sky), but can someone shed light on this photo? Not often you see a Spit 24 in 1940 markings! 😀

One of several ‘QV-A schemes’ it carried at Changi, including an all silver livery.

Looks like Changi to me; I was there 67-69 and that pic looks very familiar. Don’t ask me why they painted it like that, tho’ :rolleyes:
