Ozzy

Ps. Hawker, no playing or helping as you already know this one

is it a hurricane?
although those look a little like WW1 uniforms. or i am going blind

A Hurri?! Err Craig what have you been drinking this evening?

urmmm..
i am no good with ID'ing these aircraft, new aircraft a little better. ok given your history, i am going for an early version of a spitfire, urm Mk1?

Spitfire (Type 349) Mk Vb with desert air filter.

Neither right so far

What's throwing me off is the combination of the 3-bladed prop and the multi-ejector exhaust - I'd call it an MkXII (clipped wing) with a 3-bladed prop.

Nope

A Spitterschmit?

Seafire L MkIIIc?

Well, a Spitfire, with a Vokes Aero-Vee filter. It has an asymetric air intake thing and oil cooler layout which makes me think MkV. It has two cannon and it seems to have at least two machine guns out board in the wings. So I would think it's a LF.MkVB/C.

Also with that weather I would think it's operating either in Italy or Burma. The photo's fairly late war as there are plenty of four bladed prop aircraft in the background.

Anyway. My guess is a Spitfire LF.MkV with either a b or c wing.

is it a recon spitfire?

...with all that water and mud around, I would go for an early version of "Wellington" boots...?
LOL...LOL...LOL... ...!

So far there are no winners of the Clever Clogs prize

All I can say is: This is definately no Messerschmidt.

I'd go for a Spit Mk II with a desert air filter.
