Hi Jagan,

I have recently been doing some digging for Spitfire information. Here is what I was able to find regarding the beautiful blue Spit at the USAF Museum...

Model: Supermarine PR Mk XI Spitfire
S/N: M342 (IAF)
C/N: 6S-417723
Owner: United States Air Force Museum
History: PR XI PA908 (RAF), M342 (IAF), to USAF Museum (1989)
Other: Marked as PA908 (RAF) a Mk XI that served with the 14th Photographic Squadron of the 8th Air Force, and was based at Mount Farm airfield in England.

This is all that I have. If anyone has any more info, please let me know.

Regards,

Mike
