French airfeild opening days of the German advance into France. Plane might be spit MK1 and those look like explosions. The far wall has been leveled.

Or Battel of Britain ground strike from Ju's.

Problem is the rudder has the shape of later mark spits IX to XIV.

hmm... definately looks like a spit.. to me it looks like a later variant because of the higher tipped tail.  But its hard to tell because of the image size.

I would take a wild guess and say its a spit IX and the picture is from Operation Bodenplatte?

Summer 1940, Spitfire at RAF Kenley. Smoke doesn't look real, does it?

Spit @ RAF kenley summer 1940, it is:)


   The two larger smoke clouds were added to the photo for propaganda pourpouses, this is a frame taken from a film ( beleaved to be a gun cam shot, althought it is posable it is from a move cam in a low leval bomber), While I am not certain what spit model this is, the shot is a fairly famious one. And I had a request for Gun cam shot's, I have a couple others in the bank and they will come up over the next week.

I found the photo at the bottom of this page: http://www.raf.mod.uk/bob1940/august28.html
Great BoB site with lots of info. The mouse-over caption on this page says photo was taken from a Do17.
Good one, brady.
