Spitfire P9386 QV-K as it appeared in September 1940 when assigned to No 19 Sqn. It was flown by Squadron Leader Brian John Edward 'Sandy' Lane (1917-1942).
There is some discussion about the markings. Some believe the spinner was yellow, others believe it may have been painted Sky. The only known photograph shows the spinner is light colored, not the black which was the standard at that time. It also shows the letter K to be brighter than the QV code, but some believe that it was the same grey color that just seems brighter because of being in the sunlight when the photograph was taken.
