MK356 Spitfire XVIe
Stripped down to its basic components at Abingdon in September 1990 for eventual assignment to the RAF BBMF.
This aircraft was a combat veteran and also flew operationally on D-Day in June 1944. Very sadly, this aircraft crashed near its base at Coningsby on 25 May 2024. The pilot lost his life in the accident. I believe this is the first aircrew fatality in the long history of the BBMF.
