En el punto de mira. Si es aceptada os dire que me ha costado mucho sacar algo del raw de esta foto, las condiciones en el Fliyng del 2015 distaron mucho de ser buenas (algo normal por otra parte) Mala meteo lluvia a ratos sol y el contraluz que no soportan los que no entran y los fotografian desde enfrente... Pero cualquiera no entra.. Duxford engancha y ya estoy hechando de menos no ir este año. Cada vez que vuelvo a cojer la lanzadera que me lleva a Cambridge desde alli siempre me digo lo mismo "Tengo que volver"

K9942 is the oldest surviving Spitfire. This aircraft was the 155th built and first flew in April 1939. It flew operationally with No. 72 Squadron RAF until June 1940, when it was damaged in a wheels-up landing. After repair, it was used for training until August 1944, when it became one of several Battle of Britain aircraft veterans that were allocated to the Air Historical Branch for future museum preservation

Remarks |

The Shuttleworth Collection's Spitfire Vc was built by Westland Aircraft at Yeovil and was issued to No. 310 (Czech) Squadron at Duxford in 1942. While serving with No. 310 Squadron, AR501 escorted many USAAF B17 and B24 bombers, indeed AR501 may well have escorted the famous B17 'Memphis Belle'. AR501 was later taken on by the RAF's Central Gunnery School and was used postwar by Loughborough College as an instructional airframe. It was transferred to The Shuttleworth Collection in 1961 and was restored to flying condition for the film 'The Battle of Britain'. It was stored for a while after filming, until restoration to authentic wartime condition was carried out by a volunteer team at Duxford. Over the winter of 2000/2001 AR501 was repainted and elliptical wingtips were refitted, returning the aircraft to the condition in which it was delivered to 310 Squadron. It is currently undergoing a thorough ground-up restoration in the workshop at Old Warden. c/n WASP/20/223.
