To add to her history already documented here, this Spitfire entered the Dutch civil register on 15 February 2022, initially with the RNLAF Historic Flight followed by the Spitfires Flying Vintage Everyday society. During her 80 (!) years, she has been dismantled and shipped many times and survived four damaging landing incidents. Converted into a two-seater for the second time, during repairs at Biggin Hill from 2016 to 2021. Coming in for a stop and go here, speed brakes fully deflected.
