Australia's (and the world's?) newest Spitfire.

G'day All,

 

Yesterday morning (our time) saw the first post-restoration flight of Australia's newest Spitfire, MH603, a Mk.IXc, which is painted in the colours it wore when serving with RAF 331 (Norwegian) Sqn.

 

I was asked to go along to document the occasion. The full article and lots of photos can be seen at:    Removed 

 

and here are some pics to whet your appetite. ;)

Thanks very much Colin.

 

This is the fourth airworthy one, so far.

 

Cheers,
