Hello.... I have another Spitfire question for anyone in the know out there!
Which Spitfire is this:

It was photographed in Thailand and reported as a "source of major components for IX RR232"?
Who knows which one it is?

Jason,
I was looking through the older pages on here and noticed your posting
The image your link points at is Spitfire Mk.XIV RM797 probably pictured around the early 1970's at Surin AB, Thailand. This is where she was recovered from by Gary Cooper and then airfreighted to Australia where she still resides.
She is now owned by Randal McFarlane of Brisbane, Queensland.
Registered VH-XIV
Hope this is useful
Regards,
John
