Spitfire spotters – help needed

There’s a short film clip here

Shot at Kissimee last week. Anybody got chapter and verse on the aircraft and why it’s there?

TIA

Well spotted mate, Tom Blair is the new owner, bought the a/c last year and it looks good up where it belongs again, never used as much bubble wrap in me life when I packed all the bits up from this old girl ready to go into the container.

I believe this Spit (PL344) is now owned by Tom Blair and based at Bartow which is not that far from Kissimee. It has recently returned to the air following an engine change so perhaps he’s just getting some use out of it.

Moggy, looks like Kermit’s Mk IX, PL344. No idea why it’s there though, Kissimee’s quite a way from Polk City isn’t it?
