The first Supermarine Spitfire to fly in Australia since the end of World War Two took to the air on December 29, 1985 at Scone, New South Wales, just in time to herald the Spitfire’s golden jubilee year. The aircraft, HF Mk VIII MV239/A58-758, has been painstakingly restored over the last 2 1/2 yr by Scone-based businessman Colin Pay.
