      Supermarine Spitfire Mk IX Diecast Model
      RAF No.16 Sqn, MK716, Normandy, France, September 1944


      In an effort to spy on German forces the RAF gave some aircraft special paint colors in an attempt to camouflage them. The PRU (Photographic Reconnaissance Unit) used a very dark blue for night missions and a very pale pink for dusk, dawn and cloudy day missions. Supermarine Spitfire PR Mk. IX MK716 from No. 16 Squadron was one of only 15 Mk. IX Spitfires converted to the pale pink scheme. These aircraft retained their wing guns and first appeared in November 1942.
