A mere 52 years on from my first shot of this famous two-seater Spitfire (here), this is how she looks now. Repainted from its RAF livery (MT818) in USAAF colours for the 2025 season, it represents Spitfire IX MH894 as flown by Lt John E Fawcett of the 309th Fighter Squadron, 31st Fighter Group. Deployed to Gibraltar in November 1942, it operated in North Africa and then the Italian campaign. The name "Lady Ellen III" is after the pilot's wife Ellen; they were married in May 1942 just before he deployed to Europe

The aircraft famously used by Sidney Cotton shortly before WWII for clandestine photography over Germany with three F24 cameras and a Leica concealed behind panels. On the eve of war, he even managed a ride over German military airfields, accompanied by senior Luftwaffe officer Albert Kesselring at the controls. Cotton reached under his seat, operated the cameras and captured the airfields on film. Registered VP-TAI, N1161V and N12EJ postwar, the Lockheed was sold in 2021 and restored to flight in its original British guise, making its first flight from Sywell in March 2023
