Notice anything about the spitfire??
Rare two seater model, few made even fewer survived, some replicas made using old/wrecked spitfire bodies.. I believe about 3 or 4 airworthy..
I thought KJ was a south african prefix but it wears the roundel so appears pommy.
I think you'll find the large white letters either side of the roundel are squadron identification letters whereas the aircraft identification numbers were smaller black numerals/lettering towards the tail and represented the military code for that aircraft only and not the country of registration. On a military aircraft the roundel (British) designates the country.
The roundel on this spitfire is the standard RAF roundel (yellow outline used on dark surfaces) 1942-45. (equivalent of a tac sign.)
