Hardly visible under the swarm of people, this is the world's oldest surviving Spitfire! Imagine it being treated like this today. Brought in for the display from 23MU Bicester. In 2021 it is proudly displayed at the RAF Museum, Cosford. This photo is copyright © Terry Dann, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
