This Spitfire was taken on charge shortly after the end of WW2 in Europe and operated with 595 Sqdn, 695 Sqdn, 1 CAACU and 2 CAACU till January 1957 when an accident at RAF Little Snoring grounded it. After use as a gate guard at RAF Horsham St Faith (nowadays Norwich Airport) and a period at Duxford it took on similar duties at RAF Coltishall from 1966, remaining there till the end of 1988, after which it was sent to St Athan. Sold in the US, it was registered N2289J in 1994 and later moved to Canada and Germany. In 2019 it was said to be destined to return to the UK.
