As it is the the 80th Anniversary of the First flight of the legend that is the Supermarine Spitfire, I wondered if it would be possible to find 80 different images of Spitfires or more?
Artworks or actual photographs.
Even if no one’s up for this, here is my artwork I sketched today entitled: ‘Mitchell’s Masterpiece’
Prototype K5054 looked upon by the man himself. In homage to the man himself and his marvelous creation:

Would be nice to see one day a recent Spitfire Mk 22 in flight photograph.

It would be great to see photos of the Canadian built Anson MK5 in Cuban markings (CU-N370) parked beside CF-GMZ. Googled it without success!
🙂 If you start a thread asking you make get your wish but you will just get Spitfires in this thread 🙂

Hi All,
Surely one of the oddest here a screen grab from the film Robot Overlords….:D

N3200 on the turf at Old Warden. One of my favourite airshow sights from the last year or two.

Probably the first photo I ever took of a Spitfire – TE311 at RIAT Fairford, 1993.

Now that is a thing of beauty: please don’t paint it!
Apart from the wing roundels…!

As well as having added a few “non standard features”

This was the only racer retaining all it’s standard features.
A quick glance at the leading edge and upper surface of the wings shows that it is missing a number of ‘standard features’.

Well, here is my tribute to K5054 being prepped for flight. After 6 years of work I missed the date by a month, meant to fly it on the 6th of March. Will be April now…
The pitot mast and tube are genuine, so I guess it counts for this thread!:angel:
