Ah, the blue Spitfire with no armament.

These were camera ships, guns removed so they could carry more gas, fly deeper into enemy territory.

Thanks for posting.
Worth the watch and then some!
Stories like that are very humbling.
At that young age, flying P38 and Spitfires into a warzone. Incredible!

And a twin engined P-38 variant, the F-4, also painted blue. No guns, big cameras.

A 360 view of the Spitfire cockpit. Read the info and click to close.
Right click on the image for full screen.
Click, hold and drag the mouse around and notice pop-up notations of everything.
Zoom with the mouse wheel.

Aircraft of the greatest generation.
