MK356 Spitfire Mk LF IXe

The Battle Of Britain Memorial Flight’s Supermarine Spitfire MK356 was built at Castle Bromwich and delivered to Digby in March 1944. MK356 is now painted to represent Spitfire Mk IXC EN152 ‘QJ-3’ of No 92 Squadron in Tunisia in 1943. In its desert camouflage scheme, MK356 commemorates the hard-fought and ultimately successful war in the North African desert, and honours the heroic pilots and stoic ground crews of the Desert Air Force.

 

MK356 is seen departing Gloucestershire airport at Staverton on 4th September 2021.
