Stephen Gray’s Spitfire IX, ML417/G-BJSG made a 10min first flight at Booker on February 10, 1984, piloted by Tony Bianchi, who reported only “minimal” problems. Originally a single-seater, it was converted to a two-seater, becoming G-15-11 and then HS543 with the Indian Air Force. Its reconversion to a single-seater necessitated moving the cockpit back 13in.
