The textures depict the Spitfire R6690, flown by P/O John C. Dundas, No. 609 Squadron, RAF Middle Wallop, 13 August 1940. According the Air Ministry directive from 11 August 1940 the aircraft should already have had roundels at the bottom of the wings. However this was not introduced by 609 Squadron before mid-August. The squadron had the aircraft code painted in black on a light (most probably white) panel on the nose.
John Dundas became famous for shooting the German top ace Helmut Wick on 28 November 1940. Moments later Dundas was probably shot down by Wick's wingman, Rudolf Pflanz.
I wish to thank the guys from Aeroplane Heaven for making this very nice model, which was the perfect canvas for my repaints. And I wish to thank JustFlight for making a free demo from this model available at their site. And last but definitely not least, Martin Wright for his simple but indispensable graphic tools, as without his dtx1 bitmap manipulator these textures simply wouldn't be there.
Enjoy,
