This aircraft will be the mount of F/O Richard Hillary, who was shot down on 3rd September 1940 having just downed a Bf109 himself. Hillary bailed out, but was badly burned in the event, however he later underwent plastic surgery and returned to flying status later in the war. Sadly, he was killed flying a Blenheim nightfighter in January 1943.
He would, of course, become best known as the author of The Last Enemy, a book about his own experiences of flying Spitfires.
The kit for this will be the old-tool Airfix Mk.Ia. I'll pop up some photos later when Google plays ball!
