The Spitfire in this picture is the world’s only airworthy PR.XI, PL965/R G-MKXI, owned by Peter Teichman and kept as part of the Hangar XI Collection at North Weald.

Of all the roles undertaken by the Supermarine Spitfire, one task in which it excelled was photographic reconnaissance (�photo-recce� or �PR�). The final variant of the Spitfire family to be built specifically as a specialist photo-recce aircraft, optimised for flight at high speed and high altitude, was the Spitfire PR Mk XIX. Of the total of 20,341 Spitfires produced only 225 were built as PR XIXs and some might argue that these are the most elegant-looking of all Spitfires. Today, there are only four examples of this ultimate Spitfire in the world in airworthy condition.

This photo was made with a 50 mp full frame Canon EOS 5DSR on "Battle of Britain Day" during a recent trip to the UK. Further work was accomplished in Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop.

Contemporary Photographic Art and Travel Photography. I'm the Head Pixie and Pixel Pusher at Pixielated Pixels, British born and bred but New York City-based. I first picked up a camera around 60 years ago. After all these years I am finally happy, creating the images I always dreamed of. Shooting film and printing in the darkroom never gave me as much pleasure as powerful computers and Adobe's wonderful software does today. I began working with computers in the mid-1980s, and now I have become confident and competent with the tools at hand and feel that the world has finally caught up with my eclectic artistic vision. Intense and powerful colors and a somewhat surreal take on reality are the way my mind works and I enjoy producing images...
