Description
Take a closer look at this 1944 Supermarine Spitfire MkXI. This historic fighter features an original airframe with a continuing history and 803 total hours TTSN. A documented combat veteran, this Spitfire flew over 40 combat missions in World War II. It is powered by its original Rolls Royce Merlin 70 engine, which underwent SMOH by Retro Track & Air in the UK in 2022 and has only 16 hours since overhaul. The engine is further enhanced with twin spin-on filters and an electric pre-oil pump. The Dowty-Rotol R12/4F5/4 prop also shows 16 hours SMOH as of 2022. Finished in PRU Blue camouflage with original wartime markings, this aircraft includes a Becker VHF COM, Becker XPDR, and ADS-B equipment. Currently in annual inspection, it carries the registration G-MKXI.
