Spitfire MkIIB, UZ-N, P8342, after the sortie on 29 August 1941.
Sgt Machowiak shot down a Bf109 on that flight, in return being shot up himself - visible damaged on the empennage.
The emblem of a circus artist, shooting a bow and riding a unicycle with a name "Ceram" is of unknown origin. 
Probably an inheritance from the previous owners. (F. Grabowski)
     

Another UZ-N. This one is the Spitfire MkIX, EN128 in 1943. On 31 December 1943 F/O Pietrzak flew that aircraft scoring the PAF' 500th kill. Notice a stain stretching from engine stocks caused by engine tuned up to run lean or its fire.

After the war many aircraft carried no longer needed camouflage. Paint needed to cover the aircraft weighted many pounds.
