Spitfire Birth of a Legend (PBS America)

Hello

Have been watching Spitfire birth of a legend on PBS America. Noticed they have used a lot of the out-taken from the 1968 Battle of Britain Film. Notice this clip with EQ squadron codes?

Has anyone else noticed this

Lots of lovely stock footage!

The EQ codes pop up in First Light for a brief shot of a squadron scramble.

The Spitfire in the picture looks like it’s one of the Mark Addie conversions, but no idea which one. The codes and serials were changed on a daily basis!
