RR Owned 'Spit'
Vickers Supermarine Spitfire PR XIX PS853 at RIAT RAF Fairford 2022, owned by Rolls Royce and based in a dedicated hangar at East Midlands Airport. Built at Eastleigh/Southampton in 1945 and acquired by RR Heritage at Filton/Bristol in 1996.
A special thankyou to the RR maintainer who without asking, removed all external blanks and coverings prior to myself taking the photo of this superb machine, this was much appreciated, unfortunately I failed to get his name.
