Originally with the Royal Air Force as MK959, this Spitfire was transferred to the Royal Netherlands Air Force in 1946 as H-15. After some work as an airfield decoy from the mid - 50s, the fighter was displayed on a pole at Eindhoven Air Base. In 1993 it was replaced with a fiberglass replica and the aircraft sold to the USA. It was slowly restored to flight during 1995 - 2004. This photo is copyright © Gary Vincent, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
