Swedish Spitfire moved within museum

The Swedish Air Force Museum’s recreation of a reconnaissance Supermarine Spitfire Mk.XIX, designated 31051, has been given a new display space at the Linköping attraction. Previously suspended from the ceiling, it’s now on a platform where it can be studied more closely. The exhibit was created from a fuselage and various other parts, mostly sourced in Canada during the 1970s. Although some 60 Spitfires were used by Sweden’s Nyköping-based F 11 reconnaissance wing, none were saved. Spitfire Mk.XIX ‘31051’ in
