Pravilan naziv mu je ,,kino-foto mitraljez".
U RAF-u je bila i verzija sa produžetkom oko objektiva,kudakom i rukohvatom da podseća na mitraljez za obuku odbrambenih strelaca na avionima.Kaseta sa filmom se ubacivala kao okvir na ,,Bren" mitraljezima.

Hvala za korekciju. Mislio sam da je KFM samo arhaičan naziv za FKN

Istorijski artefakt u letnom stanju...
Citat:... an original World War II-era Supermarine Spitfire Mark IXB, it’s been fully restored to airworthy condition and it’s appeared in a number of films including “The Longest Day” and “The Battle of Britain” as well as many airshows across Britain.
... originally been built at the Castle Bromwich Aircraft Factory in the summer of 1943 and delivered to 129 (Mysore) Squadron at Hornchurch in August 1943 where she was assigned to Squadron Leader Henri Gonay (DFC, Croix de Guerre, Pamle d’Or).
Henri Gonay was a Belgian veteran of the Battle of Britain who had slipped out of Europe in 1940 in order to join the RAF. In Gonay’s hands MH415 made various sorties into Europe as a part of the Allied air campaign.
Gonay was not the only pilot to fly MH415 and it was on 24th September 1943 on a bomber escort sortie with Flight Officer Desmond F Ruchwaldy in the cockpit that MH415 met up with a Focke-Wulf 190A and emerged from the ensuing dog-fight victorious.
On 4th October 1944 MH415 was transferred to the 222 (Natal) Squadron and was given the identification code ZD-E. With that squadron she participated in eighteen sorties, most of these being bomber escort duties.
From there MH415 was again transferred, this time to 126 squadron at Bradwell Bay, Essex in late September of 1944...
At the end of the war MH415 was transferred to storage facilities until the August of 1946 when she was sold with other Spitfires to the Dutch government for use in the Dutch East Indies. In the final stages of the war in the Pacific, as the Japanese realized that they were going to lose the war they made a point of establishing groups that would fight against the return of their European colonial rulers, and so when the Dutch returned to the islands that would later become Indonesia they were met with organized resistance.
MH415 was shipped out to the Island of Java with 322 Squadron of the Royal Netherlands Air Force where she served until she was shipped back to Holland before being sold again, this time to the Belgian Air Force where she served at the L’École de Chasse at Koksijde.
In June 1956 MH415 was sold to Belgian company COGEA (Compagnie Générale d’Exploitation Aéronautique) and was initially used to tow targets for anti-aircraft crew training, but her life was about to become rather more interesting as she was hired for use in the movie “The Longest Day” in 1961...
... MH415’s movie career did not end there. In 1966 she was given a thorough servicing and then in 1968 was back on a movie set for the film “The Battle of Britain”...
At the conclusion of the filming MH415 was sold to one of the pilots who had been involved in the filming: a man from Texas named Wilson ‘Connie’ Edwards. The Spitfire was shipped to his ranch at Big Spring, Texas.
In Edwards ownership MH415 was treated to some restoration work including having been repainted in her wartime 222 Squadron livery complete with identification code ZD-E.
This graceful warhorse languished in storage at Edwards’ ranch until 2015 when she was shipped to Vintage Fighter Restorations of Scone, New South Wales, Australia, in whose hands she was given a thorough restoration with great care being taken to preserve as much of the original components as possible and still achieve a certificate of airworthiness.
From Australia MH415 was transferred to the care of Air Leasing Ltd of Northampton UK in whose hands she undertook her test flight in 2021.
This war veteran and movie star Spitfire has performed in air shows all over Britain. She retains 95% of her original parts and as restored is very much as she was when she was first made back the the dark days of 1943... [Link mogu videti samo ulogovani korisnici]

Nemački pilot koji je priložio u fond za nabavku spitfajera...
... sećam se da smo imali neku temu o vojnim anegdotama, ali nsam uspeo da je pronađem, niti se sećam tačnog naslova. Zato ovde...
