| 説明 | c/n CBAF.IX4394Built at Castle Bromwich as a ‘low-back’ Mk.XVI. Retired by 1952 and with the Air Training Corps (ATC) at Royton until 1967 when she was taken to Henlow for use in the ‘Battle of Britain’ movie. She wasn’t used due to corrosion and instead went to RAF Cranwell as a gate guard. She soon moved on, first to RAF Finningley, then RAF Leconfield and finally to RAF Aldergrove where she went in store in 1972. In 1977 she went on display at the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum and remained there until sold to Nick Grace in 1986. A resotoration to flight was started, but Nick sadly died in 1988 and the project was sold on. The restoration was completed as a ‘high-back’ and she flew again at East Midlands Airport in November 1990, registered as G-MXVI.After a variety of owners and colour schemes, she is now nominally based at Biggin Hill and wears the markings of 127squadron, RAF. She specifically represents Spitfire RR227 in which Squadron Leader Otto Smik was shot down and killed on 28th November 1944, during a diving attack on Zwolle railway station in the Netherlands.She is seen taking off to display at the 2019 Fête Aérienne Le Temps Des helices (Aerial Festival – The Time of the Propellers).Aérodrome de Cerny-La-Ferté-Alais, Cerny, France9th June 2019 |
