Excellent point Mr Merry.
Except that was pointed out in the video. My mistake in calling it a Spitfire 😮

I just noticed. You can barely see it but the credits are on the bottom of the photo.

Close … but no cigar:

Still a neat pic Martin. Is that Warmwell? The markings do look like the 428thFS but its a little hard to tell. Number 224 was all silver.
Appreciate it Martin.

Do you have a copy of “The Geyser Gang”, the history of the 428th by John Stienko?

The 474th historian, whose Dad was 428th is around too. He sometimes posts on the WIX forum.

Thanks for the reply Dan. We have a copy of “The Geyser Gang”.
The 474th historian’s name is Gary Koch. We know him well. Gary is a wealth of knowledge not only on the 474th but all aircraft. A great guy.
There is another book called “Swat” written by Bob Milliken. Bob is the ace that shot down the FW190 that shot down Jim’s plane. Bob talks to Gary and Scott and still recalls that day vividly. Bob lives in Wyoming.

Truc,
There was a well know professional photographer at this rare event. I wish I could remember his name so he could get the credit he deserves.
Hell of a shot aint it?
