Saw a video of the Silver Spitfire being unveiled at a sponsors event, with it taxing into the gathering. Not sure if the link below will work? https://m.facebook.com/Romain.hugaul…oup_highlights
Didn’t realise MJ271 was so far advanced in its restoration.

Posh entry probably at some posh event for those 250 willing to fork out £12k on the IWC Timezoner Spitfire Edition watch?…

I didn’t realise it was this one http://www.warbirdregistry.org/spitregistry/spitfire-mj271.html i thought i only saw her a short while ago in those markings.May i ask what is so special about and why the posh entry in the video ?

…seeing as the pitot tube is on the wrong wing
Pitot. Good spot. If the image is reversed then the registration “G-IRTY” and all the graphics must be computer generated.

Correction, the photos I’ve seen were of RR232/G-BRSF (with that registration on it). I guess they stuck the ‘G-IRTY’ regs on it for filming/photography purposes.
Edit:
The Boultbee video shows RR232/G-BRSF sporting the “G-IRTY” registration. Could be CGI, but it was photographed on the ground at Goodwood carrying that registration.
Now that I have had another look at these images, I’m sure there’s a bit of CGI involved, seeing as the pitot tube is on the wrong wing 😉

RR232/G-BRSF with cannon and “G-IRTY’ registration at Goodwood.

A couple photos from this past weekend of MJ271, posted to the IWC Schaffhausen FB page (wings/spinner haven’t been polished yet):
The wings are on temporary loan from another Spitfire restoration…BS410.

I thought I had seen a photo of MJ271 taxiing a few weeks ago. Can’t remember where though. It looked pretty complete.
By: Mayhem Marshy - 17th January 2019 at 16:12
the spitfire in the background – The French MkXIX (F-AZJS), that nosed over a short while back?
By: olly_s - 17th January 2019 at 16:01
Its also intriguing to see she will be booked at airshows from June – August so shall I be the first to say – Legends 2019 ?
By: olly_s - 17th January 2019 at 15:56
On the website this photos shows her vertical stabiliser (at ARCo I assume), but what is that Spitfire in the background?
By: Mark12 - 17th January 2019 at 07:47
Both Spitfires are/were at the IWC event in Geneva.
