Oldone Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 My Orange Spitfire finished and ready. It belong to the Schreiner Airways Texel and used as a target tug. LF IXc. PT986. 16-09-1948. 01-10-1948. H-27 & 3W-16. PH-NFP. 13-07-1954 from KLu to Schreiner. 08-08-1957 officially written off and scrapped. I think my next Spitfire has got to be LF IXc PT986 before it became a target tug.Now to find out more about her. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spencer Flack owned and displayed a rather fetching low-back FRXIVe (G-FIRE) painted red in the 1980's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FRXIVe (G-FIRE) The Planes of Fame Spitfire F.R.14e, is a composite with the fuselage of F.R.14e (NH904) and the wing from F.XIV (RM694). It has two combat records. NH904 served with 414 Squadron (RCAF) in WWII and postwar with 610 Squadron (RAF) before transfer to Belgium. The wings were scrapped, but the fuselage survived. RM694 claimed a V-1 kill with 91 Squadron (RAF) and later flew with 402 Squadron (RCAF). In 1966, RM694's wings and NH904's fuselage were mated. Restoration to flying condition took place in Great Britain, and as G-FIRE, she flew again in March 1981. NH904 came to the Museum in 1989 painted in the colors of a Spitfire 24 based in Hong Kong with 80 Squadron (RAF) in 1950. The Spit is mostly red with white trim. The wings are red on the top and bottom with a red stripe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
