Description

Supermarine Mk IX Spitfire


The Spitfire, one of the most famous aircraft of WWII, was designed in 1934/35. By the outbreak of war in 1939, 400 Spitfires were in service. Production of the many and varied marks of Spitfire lasted through and beyond the war years, with the final Spitfire coming off the production line in February 1948. An estimated 22,579 Spitfires served in all spheres of the War and afterwards. No 485 (NZ) Squadron based in England and Europe during WWII was a specific Spitfire Squadron flown by New Zealanders.


This piston-engined aircarft is owned by the Deere family of Marton. The fighter was restored by the family and decorated in honour of family member Air Commodore Alan Deere, who served with the RAF for forty years.
