Its history:

37 Maintenance Unit 15-9-41
222S 'ZD-F' 1-10-41
Rodeo 51 shot down by Fw190 over France on sweep to Ostend 25-5-42
S/Ldr Jankiewiez killed
It also shows the imperfections and that it has been worked on etc.

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)

For the Spitfire fans, from the Canadian Archives:

Victory Salute by aircraft of No.84 Group, 2nd Tactical Air Force
(Aircraft in foreground is a Supermarine 'Spitfire' photo-reconnaissance aircraft)


You can search all of the photos at Library and Archives Canada at this web site, just enter any search name "Hitler", "Tank", "Lancaster" or "Spitfire".

Search the database - Photographs - ArchiviaNet - Library and Archives Canada

Click the little box if you only want results with digitized images. If you see ones you want that are not digitized, you can order prints.

That's excellent, I had no idea the Canadians had a digital library too.

That appears (if I've read the serial correctly) to be Spitfire XIV RM795:

39MU 31-8-44
2 Squadron 23-11-44
130 Squadron rep FTR ops cancel
414 Squadron 7-8-45
1 BRSD BAFO 3-1-49
Reserve Pool 20-4-49
nea 1-8-50
sold VA 10-11-50
to BAF 15-11-50
