This Spitfire is on display at the Národní technické muzeum in Prague in the markings of 310 (Czech) Squadron. The squadron was formed on 10 July 1940 at RAF Duxford and was the first RAF squadron to be made up by foreign nationals, in this case escaped Czechoslovak pilots. 310 Sqn. was equipped with Hurricanes during the BoB (scoring 37½ victories) before re-equipping with Spitfires in 1941.
