Spitfire Mk1A
Squadron Leader Geoffrey Stephenson's Spitfire Mk1A of 19 Squadron was shot down on its first combat mission over Dunkirk during Operation Dynamo May 1940, he crash landed the aircraft on the beach where it sank into the the sand and remained buried for almost 50 years. In 1986 after strong currents uncovered the wreckage, it was excavated during the spring of that year. The Spitfire was restored to flying condition and returned to the air in 2014. Dull misty day when I photographed this so changed the background in photoshop
