W3644, Supermarine 349 Spitfire Mk5B (replica), Royal Air Force, on display in a flying pose at the Fylde Spitfire Memorial, at Fairhaven Lake, Lytham-St-Annes, 18th August 2024.
Lytham, and it's neighbour Blackpool, are filled with Spitfires, if you know where to look…

Low side view of a World War 2-era single-engined military fighter pale mounted on a pole in a flying pose.
The plane is in a grey and green camouflage scheme, with the cream-coloured letters "QV-J" either side of a yellow, blue, white, and red roundel on the fuselage.
There is a cream band around the rear fuselage, with "W3644" overlaid in black.
The underside of the body and wings are a pale creamy white, with a blue, white, and red roundel on the outer panels of the wings.
The black pole it sits on seems to rise out of the top of a stand of trees, with dramatically lit grey clouds and blue sky above.

The plane has a black belly, and red and yellow stripes running along the body and up into the tail, a design replicated on the engine pods slung under the wings. There are black "Inter European" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and black, diagonal letters "IEA" on the tail.
