Spitfire MkXVIII HS683 now in UK for restoration

Indian Airforce TZ219 ( UK serial ) is now in the UK, and reportedly will be restored at Sywell.
Originally serialled TZ219, the Spitfire arrived in India on 11 February 1946 and was accepted on Far East charge two weeks later. The machine isn’t thought to have seen much service in India, most likely remaining in store until being transferred to the Indian Air Force on 31 December 1947 and given the serial HS683.

Maybe the last Spitfire to be used as an instructional airframe in the world, it  was finally  released by the PEC University of Technology — formerly Punjab Engineering College — at Chandigarh following protracted negotiations, and arrived on a truck at the Indian Air Force Museum at Palam, Delhi on 10 August this summer.
