Um! The PR XI also has a retracting tail wheel.

Mark

isnt that a camera port down the middle of the fuselage? If it is that would narrow the type a bit, er PR11? – Not a 19 as the tail wheels fixed. If it is that will narrow it down a bit.
Dont know where, dont know when but I know………etc etc
Looks like the standard amount of oil for a RR Merlin from a couple of aero sessions.

How about TE184 when the engine let go circa May/June 1994. Dead stick into Duxford.

This would be in the high altitude grey/blue livery.

You are allowed as many guesses as you like!

But only one will be correct, and this isn’t it.

Am I allowed a second guess?? What about…

Mk.IX MJ730

Early 90’s

No idea of location

Daz,

Good try, but no.

Try going back further in time.

Don’t recall a ‘Halton Whizbang’ aircraft either…

Heh, heh, heh.

Will I acquire the ‘Baffles the Forum brains with Spitfire pics’ award?

Halton, TE184?

It’s the UK.

It’s since the mid eighties.

One teaching airfield with an a—-aircraft to its name.

I would hope that if it were DX someone would have got it by now. And I’m not going to help AT ALL with which Spitfire. There’s enough Experten here you should get it without help.

Now c’mon!

1968?

MJ730 somewhere in Virginia?

MK912, Duxford?

I’d go for 434.

Not a MKVIII as it has a fixed tailwheel.

Don’t know where though.

Cheers

Paul

I’ve just re-read James’ post and realised it can’t be MH434-doh! I take back my previous guess,can I have another go??? 😀

Ok,my guess would now be the Australian Mk.VIII once owned by Col Pay,now at Temora.

Tyabb?

Early 90’s when she first flew after restoration?

Am I at all close??

Oh dear.

I’m sure we can do better than the most famous Spitfire in the world on Spitfire island…

B.P OIL D100 ,quantity 1 quart!

My guess :
OFMC Spitfire MH434.

Somewhere in the U.K.

Shot taken after shut down after another dazzling display!
