Supermarine Spitfire R6915, Imperial War Museum London

Suspended above the atrium of the Imperial War Museum in London, R6915 is a Mark I Spitfire that flew 57 sorties with 609 Squadron in the Battle of Britain, four of its victories claimed by Pilot Officer Noel Agazarian. Cannon fire ended its battle on 7 October 1940; it was repaired and later used for training, which is why it wears the plain markings of a training unit rather than squadron codes. The museum describes it as the only surviving Battle of Britain Spitfire left more or less untouched since the war.
