Summary
[edit]| Description |
This Spitfire is painted to represent a machine operated by 308(Krakowski) sqn, Royal Air Force in 1945. 308 was one of many Polish squadrons operating within the RAF during WW2. The aeroplane is actually 'SM411' which served with 421sqn RCAF in 1945. After being preserved at RAF Wattisham between 1955 & 1967, it was one of many Spitfires gathered at Henlow for the production of the Battle of Britain film. Not airworthy at the time, it was used in taxiing scenes. It then served as a traveling exhibit before being involved in a deal with the Krakow museum which saw it exchanged for the remains of a WW1 Airco DH9 (F1010), an aeroplane which is now on display, fully restored, in the RAF Museum at Hendon in London. The Spitfire arrived in Poland in 1977 and has been on display ever since. c/n CBAF.IX3495. On display in the new entrance building at the Muzeum Lotnictwa Polskiego Krakow, Poland. 23-08-2013 |
