General Background
The Spitfire Mk.1 first became operational in July 1938. At the beginning of WWII 9 RAF squadrons were equipped with the Mk.1’s. By June 1940 the Mk.1 was being replaced by the faster long-range Mk.II but not before the Mk.I had bore the brunt of the Battle of Britain. The Mk.I also flew protective cover over the evacuation of Dunkirk. The Mk.1A had 8 machine guns instead 4, a bulged canopy, a 3-blade propeller, self-sealing fuel tanks, armored windscreen and armor plating in front of and behind the pilot.
The Aircraft
Flt. Lt. John Ellis was No. 610 (County of Chester) Squadron top ace while flying R6806/DW-N c/n 810, a late production Spitfire Mk. 1A. He accumulated 13 confirmed victories. Ellis became Sqn. Ldr. of 610 and later while flying another aircraft ended the war as a POW. R6806 was transferred to No. 72 Squadron and due to battle damaged thought beyond repair. However after 9 months of restoration it went on to fly for several squadrons. On March 23, 1945 the aircraft was SOC (Struck Off Charge).
