It flew again briefly a few days later. Registered to the current owners in 1978, the aircraft has been quietly undergoing long-term refurbishment at Kenilworth and Coventry. It was originally built as a single-seat LF.IX in 1943, and flew with 441 Sqn in 1944-45. After the war Vickers converted it into a two-seat trainer for the Irish Air Corps.

The Southampton formation, which made two display passes and a 360° turn above Hythe, broke the previous record of ten non-military-owned Spitfires, established during the filming of Battle of Britain in the 1960s. A more recent attempt, at a Middle Wallop show in 1986, managed only eight. Even national air forces equipped with the type have not bettered the total of 13, although Spitfire specialist Peter Arnold has records of 11- and 12-aircraft formations by the Burmese and the Israelis. Did the Southampton and Duxford shows in May provide us with the last chance to see Spitfires in such profusion? Unlikely. Duxford was where the Spitfire first entered RAF service, in August 1938. Which means, as the airfield's press officer Frank Crosby tells Vintage News with a gleam in his eye, "There's another anniversary coming up in two years' time..."

Регистрационный номерRegistry number: G-AVAV, MJ772   [3]

Supermarine Type 509 Spitfire Trainer 8 G-AVAV/MJ772 seen taking off from Elstree in August 1967. Initially a single seater with the RAF, MJ772 was converted into a trainer and served with the Irish Air Corps, as No 158, before being sold to Tony Samuelson at Elstree in 1966. After an extensive rebuild, G-AVAV remained at Elstree in company with the owner's Hurricane G-AWLW. Both flew for the Battle of Britain film and were subsequently sold to Sir William Roberts to form the nucleus of the Strathallan Collection.
Former Irish Air Corps Tr.9 G-AVAV was one of the two-seaters used for the filming of Battle of Britain. Flying a two-seat Spitfire from the rear seat was not ideal in terms of the pilot’s field of view, but certainly possible in the hands of an experienced pilot. This aircraft also still survives today with the Biggin Hill Heritage Hangar.
