This skin was requested by Devil for a future event and is an adoption of one previously done by 417Jocko.
This Spitfire Mk IX EN 398 was flown by Flying Officer Ian Keltie of 402 Squadron RCAF in February to March 1943. Like several aircraft in the squadron it was decorated with a cartoon character on the nose, in this case Popeye. Keltie flew 75 operational sorties with 402 Squadron and was wounded several times. After June 1944 he was transferred back to Canada where he flew B-24s and B-25s with 168 Squadron RCAF. EN 398 was later re-coded JE-J and became the mount of Wing Commander Johnnie Johnson.
