S Steve2017 sent in an email with this question. If you post the picture, members might be able to help.

I was given a picture of a Spitfire but without any history. The picture is not all that good and the tail number seems to be K9295. I'm not sure of the 1st letter but the numbers are clear.
Can you help shed some light on the plane's history?

Did you mean to post the picture?

I don't see K9295 listed in my sources but there's a K9795



The combination of a single letter with a 92XX s/n doesn't seem to exist.

S Steve2017 sent me an email asking. Without attachment. I replied back that he needs to upload picture in this thread.
Thanks for the quick check. I'm sure that will help when he can post photo.

No problem. K9295 is actually a Fairey Battle production block number.
