Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IX – Desert Warrior at Old Warden

This Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IX, in striking desert camouflage, is seen at Shuttleworth. The Mk.IX was developed to meet the Luftwaffe’s Fw 190 threat and served with distinction across multiple theatres, including North Africa. With its powerful Merlin engine and elegant lines, this restored aircraft is a vivid reminder of the Spitfire’s global role during WWII.
