Spitfire PRXIX

[mfg495]

The images below are PRXIX no. PS915, she is part of the RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, however, she is paint up in the colour of PS888, a PRXIX of 81 Squadron based at Seletar in Singapore during the Malaya Campaign.
This aircraft conducted the last ever operational sortie by an RAF Spitfire when, on 1 April 1954, it flew a photographic mission over an area of jungle in Johore thought to contain hideouts for Communist guerrillas.

These images were sent to me by fellow photographers working with the BBMF, all the images are Crown Copyright, more information about the BBMF can be found at BBMF

I still think that the Spitfire has to be one of the all time great airplanes, it was built during a time when the UK required so much from it's young Air Force.
The Hurricane was a mighty fighter but its development did not go has far as the Spits.
You ask any person of any age and they know what a Spitfire is.

Carole (that's my wife) once asked me if I would swap her for a Spitfire, I said I just hope that day never comes, we both laughed
