Spitfire MkI K9998 QJ-K, PO Geoffrey Wellum, No. 92 (East India) Sqn, Biggin Hill, 11th September 1940.
PO Wellum scored his first kill in this aircraft, an He111, while flying wingman to Brian Kingcome. He survived the war, and recounted his experiences in "First Light", an extremely well-written and moving account of 'Boy' Wellum's Battle.
No. 92 Squadron shared the letters QJ with No.616 Sqn, owing to an administrative error when the definitive codes were issued.
High resolution skin by Nigel "ndicki" Dickinson for the ETO PD Spitfire MkIa.
