Might be PS915 which was used as a still in the Battle of Britain film (and presumably converted from its PR.XIX form for the duration before being restored to how it should look).
It's still flying with the BoBMF of course.
I'll get me anorak ....

For all you spotters out there
I would certainly give this Spitfire a high Mark
I\'m not an expert, but I have seen the occasional photographer
representing the fairer sex..............sooooo there must be a proportion of spotters too

Ouch... dunno what happened to the lass in the colour version, but it probably hurt!
Vanhigher - Thanks for the compliment, but it can't be me, I have brown hair.
Sharpshot - I have to ask... if it is the aircraft saying that, why doesn't it just eject the pilot?

You think spotters are sad, I have just heard on the radio (R4 Home Truths) of someone who collects Co-op stores. When he comes across one he hasn't seen before he takes a photo of it.

Excellent stuff this, but, and a big BUT, I may send this to JetBlast as well as the pink aviator thead as it is nearing it's first anniversity so, as to reduce the workoad here, as it has its own forum now, things can be posted there.
If Pink has done her skills test before then, then all is well, but if not then the thread will be locked out of use as it takes too much time for us on here and it can be continued on her own forum. So, Pink, you have untill your first aniversity to do your skills test, if not, the thread gets transfered to your own forum for it to continue and prosper in there.
Sorry to be the bringer of bad news but it has been disscused where the thread goes and the general consenus favours it continuing on your own site.
Go for it, the time is now Pinkster, go for it...........

P.S. my only experience with Spotters was in 1997. I flew over to England with a another girl pilot in a PA28-140 to the North Weald airshow. After landing, I wondered what all those people were doing with binoculars and clipboards. Well, I guess we were a bit something special arriving in a pretty "old" Piper with German registration and 2 gals disembarking
Our stay in North Weald was very memorable. The organisers arranged a place for us to stay and we were just thrilled at the hospitality. It was the first time my friend had ever been to England!
We don't have spotters in Germany as you have in England. I'm sure there are some, but they must be hinding in the bushes
... I've never noticed them....
