The armament, exhausts and radiators look like a Vb, and I'd have thought they were all out of service by June 1944, where the "invasion stripes" place the scheme pretty definitely as 4/June/1944 to end of July '44.

OK thanks; it would appear that the Vs were still in service later than I'd thought.

The wings look a bit like the Spitfire, bu the paint makes it look like a Mustang. I dont know too much about these beauties but is that how the English painted them or is this artistic license? Anyway it's beautiful art

They were worried about friendly fire and needed something recognisable from a distance. Very specific measurements on size and placement o c the stripes.

All fighters and medium bombers were painted with those stripes for D-Day invasion.Yes, this is Spitfire.
