Great news from ‘downunder’ is that Spitfire FrXIV ZK-XIV made her first flight following her latest restoration at Ardmore NZ late yesterday afternoon ( NZ time). She was tragically badly damaged in a take off accident near Wanaka on 2/1/96 whilst owned by the Alpine Fighter Collection. She was a Duxford resident awaiting restoration between 1989 and 1993 but was moved to Audley End for completion making her first flight on 21/1/94. On the 5/2/94 she was noted at Duxford but was soon crated and headed for NZ. Congratulations to all involved.

Am I the only one that prefers the 1968 look?
Or perhaps earlier looks as seen at Duxford over the years ?
