MJ250 was flown by No. 601 “County of London” Squadron from July 1944. The unit was operating from the airfields at Perugia, Loreto and Fano at that
time. The aircraft was used primarily for dive-bombing operations. MJ250 survived the war but was then scrapped. MJ250 was regularly flown by F/O
Desmond Ibbotson, DFC & Bar. This fighter ace is credited with 11 confirmed and four probable kills with five damaged aircraft. He died on November 19,
1944 at the controls of Spitfire MH614. The camouflage colors were stripped down except for the upper engine and fuel tank cowling. These parts seem
to be camouflaged, probably taken from another aircraft. Note the unit badge on the fin tip.
Spitfire LFMk.IXc, MJ250, No. 601 Squadron, Italy, Summer, 1944
