Taxiing out for its display at Duxford Autumn Airshow 2013. This is a combat veteran Spitfire that was built at Castle Bromwich in 1942. It was assigned to No. 315 (Polish) Sqn. on May 7, 1942 and to No. 317 (Polish) Sqn. on Sept. 5, 1942, both at Woodvale. The Spitfire wears the code of the latter squadron, and several Polish pilots were reunited with the aircraft in 2000 and 2004. It featured in the 1968 Battle of Britain movie as a static airframe.
