PL965 on Her Way Home!

Quality photograph

Yes – a much nicer quality.

Yes Mark 12! That is NICE! 😎

I believe a pic simular to this was published in the Flypast overview of the 50 airworthy spitfires of March 2002. Am I right? It looks the same but your pic has a nicer quality.

Thanks,

Nice scheme.

Still I loved the red scheme too. I mean REALLY liked it.

Spencer Flack’s Spitfire

Stieglitz,

More like this then?

That is Spencer’s Spitfire SG-108 second in line and seen here at Chilbolton circa November 1950 before delivery.

I cant say his spit was ugly. All spitfires are beautifull. But I would have loved to see it in its original Belgian Airforce Markings.
It was a recognizable red sheme. Nice for one season but I prefer a good old military livery.

I have the same problem withe the raceplanes at reno. I dont like their special painted racers. The same for Spencer Flacks Hawker Fury G-FURY. Nice plane but…
I believe there are a lot of spectators who love this kind of things but I prefer authentic camo.

Greets,

J.V.

You would have loved Spencer Flack’s red, white and blue one then. Personally I thought it looked terrific and emphasised the shape of the Spitfire to perfection.

That is good news! Thanks Daz. It will be nice to see a MKXI variant back in European skies. And the colour is not so important to me. I like all spits in all colours, as long as the sheme is based on real WW2 planes.

Thanks,

J.V.

Pity about the pink, but she’ll be back in the UK soon! 🙂

The basic PRU Blue paintwork was done at Bartow, Florida. The markings and stencils will be applied in the UK.

The pink will be missed, but I do love blue Spitfires.
