This and your 'previous' picture depict a Hawker Hurricane and not a Supermarine Sptfire. The Hurricane can be identified by its larger fin and the canopy having slanted diagonal window 'panes'.
This particular aircraft was built in Canada for their air force and was was found abandoned at a farm in Brantford, Ontario before being restored (in England) and flew once more in 1991. It now flies in Canada registered C-FDNL.
