This post (specifically the link) highlights the history of the Spitfire in question.
It is a MkVIII built & tested in 1944.
It was then shipped to Australia & assigned to the RAAF.
RIP Wing Cmdr R.H. (Bobby) Gibbes AM WG CMR DSO DFC, the RAAF Pilot who flew the Spitfire that this MkVIII's paint scheme depicts.
