What's throwing me off is the combination of the 3-bladed prop and the multi-ejector exhaust - I'd call it an MkXII (clipped wing) with a 3-bladed prop.

Well, a Spitfire, with a Vokes Aero-Vee filter. It has an asymetric air intake thing and oil cooler layout which makes me think MkV. It has two cannon and it seems to have at least two machine guns out board in the wings. So I would think it's a LF.MkVB/C.

Also with that weather I would think it's operating either in Italy or Burma. The photo's fairly late war as there are plenty of four bladed prop aircraft in the background.

Anyway. My guess is a Spitfire LF.MkV with either a b or c wing.

All I can say is: This is definately no Messerschmidt.

I'd go for a Spit Mk II with a desert air filter.
