Rossistb, this Spitfire is AR213 a Westland built Mark Ia. It is the same Spitfire that was owned by the late Patrick Lyndsay and the late Victor Gauntlett. She is now owned by Sheringham Aviation and operated by Tony Bianchi’s Personal Plane Services at Wycombe Air Park (Booker). She has just emerged from a very indepth rebuild (started around 1999?)to an original Mark Ia spec, this involved undoing the many modifications that had been added to the airframe over it’s very active life.
The last I heard was that she was to wear 57 OTU. codes and colour scheme circa late 1941 but not in the red,white and blue nosed “Bounce Scheme.”
My own reaction to this news is BLOODY FANTASTIC !!!! well done Tony and all the P.P.S. team.:D 🙂
