The Mk I Spit, no X4321, shown in Oleg's screenshot was flown by the Battle of Britain ace P/O Crelin Arthur Walford Bodie, in RAF No. 66 Squadron.

"Operating from Kenley on 5 September 1940, Bodie was engaged in combat with Bf 109Es. Bodie's aircraft was severely damaged and was forced to belly-land. He succeeded in putting down X4321 to a well-executed belly landing in the vicinity of Barnhurst Lane, Hawkinge. The pilot escaped injury."
