The foreground Spitfire is the Spitfire LF MK.IXe , serial ML417 of the The Fighter Collection, Duxford at that time. The plane was rebuilt a couple of times., The background one is a Griffon engine powered Spitfire FR Mk.XIVe serial MV293. The pic was taken during the Spitfire Air show on the 30th April 1998. So the caption in the pic is misleading.
