Do we know how much of the aircraft they have, Mark?
I have not seen it or photographs.
I would imagine they are typical crash remains.

. Is this the famous ‘Kiwi’ Spitfire? Chances are it isn’t. I think he lost four Spitfires during the BofB alone off the top of my head.
Brendon says not one of the ‘KIWI’ Spitfires.

I have a model of one of Al Deere’s Spits (I think it was an old Hasegawa Mk1), and the serial is P9398 – I think this is the one most of us have probably seen in his markings.
(Thought I had a picture of it, but I don’t :()

Yes Don, I was thinking the same thing. Is this the famous ‘Kiwi’ Spitfire? Chances are it isn’t. I think he lost four Spitfires during the BofB alone off the top of my head.
I recall reading his book years ago, a brilliant book. He was bombed on take-off and was buried in his Spitfire upside down on one occasion. Just like in the BofB film!
That one was well written off apparently – also had a head-on collision with a 109 in another!

Glad to see that G-SUSY will remain in Europe. With the loss of four French P-51s (two to the US, and two crashes), and the ex. Gilmour example from the UK, it is nice to see that some stay!

re. the Spit. Al Deere flew (and crashed/lost) any number of Spits – see Len Deighton’s “Fighter” for instance :rolleyes: Anyone got the history of this particular one?
