This aircraft rolled off Vickers-Supermarine’s satellite factory at Castle Bromwich at the end of 1942. Her first RAF posting was to 39 Maintenance Unit at RAF Colerne on January 2, 1943, moving on to 215 MU later that month at Locharbriggs in Scotland. There she was loaded aboard the SS Tijuca on February 4th for onward shipment to Australia along with a number of other Spitfires for service with the Royal Australian Air Force. After arrival in Australia in mid-April, 1943, she entered the RAAF as A58-178, passing through No.1 Aircraft Depot at RAAF Laverton, before joining her first operational unit, RAAF 79 Squadron, on on June 1st, 1943, coded ‘UP-G’. 79 Squadron formed up at Laverton, and began moving to the frontline base at Vivigani Airfield on Goodenough Island in New Guinea. The unit moved to Kiriwina, one of the Trobriand Islands now belonging to Papua New Guinea, during August, 1943. Kiriwina, at the time, was the closest Allied airfield to Japanese units then based at Rabaul. The Spitfire was involved in an accident at Kiriwina on December January 12th, 1944. While landing in gusty conditions without flaps on a wet summer’s day, F/Sgt Dudley Gringlington flipped the Spitfire on her back. While Gringlington suffered minor injuries, the Spitfire wasn’t quite so lucky, as the following images show…
No. 11 Repair & Salvage Unit assessed the aircraft with a view of returning her for service, but declared she was a write-off soon after, whereupon the stripped her for parts, and dumped the remains on site. Here the carcass lay for the next thirty years until Monty Armstrong recovered her remains, along with the wreckage of two other Spitfires on Kiriwina, shipping the remains to New Zealand.
Don Subritzky acquired the Spitfire in 1975 and began a restoration incorporating parts from another RAAF Spitfire, A58-149 (ex RAF EF545). Subritzky eventually sold the project to Karel Bos, who contracted his company Historic Flying Ltd. to carry out the restoration. JG891 was back in the air again on February 11th, 2006 for new owner, Tom Blair. The Spitfire flew in England for a couple of years before moving to the USA, along with the rest of Blair’s British fleet of Spitfires. Blair did not own her for long though, selling her to Dan and Tom Friedkin’s Comanche Fighters in the summer of 2009. The Friedkins had the aircraft modified into a clipped-wing variant and repainted her desert camouflage with a standard temperate scheme representing a Spitfire once flown by the legendary British ace, Robert Stanford Tuck. In July, 2017 JG891 suffered a slight mishap, departing the runway when landing in Marana, Arizona. Commanche Fighters subsequently de-registered the aircraft in the USA towards the end of 2017, and shipped her to England, where they registered her as G-LFVC. While at Duxford, the Spitfire has received a lot of TLC, and had her wingtips re-installed. A fresh coat of paint returns her to the desert markings representing JK879, a 249 Squadron aircraft flown from Malta by Flt Sgt John G. “Jack” Hughes (RCAF).

Open-air art exhibition across London - Summer 2012
• BT marked 25th anniversary of ChildLine with launch of open-air art exhibition in London
• BT ArtBox project saw leading artists, designers and creatives transform full-size replicas of iconic Gilbert Scott–designed red telephone box into stunning artworks
• Throughout June and July 2012, BT ArtBoxes were on display in high-profile locations across the capital
• The National Portrait Gallery hosted a gala auction on July 18 where the ArtBoxes were auctioned to raise money for ChildLine
To celebrate the 25th anniversary of ChildLine, BT announced the launch of the BT ArtBox project – a new public art exhibition set to take over the capital Summer 2012.
Leading artists, designers and creatives from around the world were invited to apply their individual talents to re-style that much-loved icon of British design, the traditional red telephone box.
Each artist or designer took delivery of a full-size, fibre-glass replica of the Sir Giles Gilbert Scott-designed original K6 telephone kiosk, which was introduced in 1936 to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of the coronation of King George V.
Participating artists included 2002 Turner prize winner Keith Tyson, Romero Britto and Royal Academician Professor of Sculpture David Mach, along with fashion designers Giles Deacon and Zandra Rhodes.
The BT ArtBoxes were on display in high-profile locations around the capital between June 18 and July 16 before being auctioned off at a VIP Gala Auction at the National Portrait Gallery on July 18 to raise funds for BT’s long-time partner ChildLine.
Esther Rantzen OBE, founder of ChildLine and patron of the BT ArtBox project, said: “I’m thrilled that ChildLine’s 25th birthday is to be celebrated by such a unique and inspiring project as BT Artbox.
“The red phone box is a much loved symbol of British culture and I’m keen to see how the artists involved will create new masterpieces from such an iconic canvas. It’s fantastic that the proceeds from the sale of the boxes will raise vital funds to support the work of ChildLine, enabling us to help many more children and young people to get comfort, advice and protection when they need it most.”
Sandy Nairne, director of the National Portrait Gallery and patron of the BT ArtBox project, said: “The Gilbert Scott telephone box is a truly iconic British design, and I’m looking forwards to seeing how artists and designers transform the replica boxes into works of art on London’s streets.”
David Mach, said: “It’s great to be involved with the ArtBox Exhibition. I get to kill more than two birds with one stone...work with a great charity (hopefully make money for it) and a classic British design. I love all things Gilbert Scott. Anything that encourages us to get his design back on our streets does it for me”.
Suzi Williams, director of BT Group Marketing and Brand, said: “BT has a history of supporting British cultural initiatives and 2012 is no exception. What better way to celebrate ChildLine's 25th anniversary than transforming replicas of the classic red phone box into a public art exhibition that can be enjoyed by all in the build-up to the Games this summer."
Martine Ainsworth-Wells, London & Partners, Marketing and Communications director, said:
“London & Partners is excited to support BT ArtBox in the run up to London 2012. BT ArtBox will bring some of the UK’s finest artistic talents to London’s streets, adding a new creative dimension to the capital at such an important time in its history.”
Artists and creatives who were interested in designing an ArtBox visited btartbox.com for more information about how to get involved.
The BT ArtBox project was supported by the Mayor of London, Professor Malcolm Garrett RDI, London & Partners, The May Fair Hotel, Harvey Nichols, The Times and The Sunday Times and borough councils across the capital.

Top 10 facts about the K6 red phone box
1. Kiosk number 6 or “Jubilee Kiosk” commemorates the Silver Jubilee of the coronation of King George V.
2. Sir Giles Gilbert Scott also designed Liverpool’s Anglican Cathedral, Battersea Power Station and Bankside Power Station now Tate Modern.
3. More than 1,600 decommissioned red phone boxes, mostly K6s, have been sold to local communities for just a £1 under BT’s Adopt a Kiosk scheme. Uses include being fitted with lifesaving defibrillation machines, turned into art galleries and public libraries.
4. The K6 was the first kiosk installed nationwide and the standard kiosk across the UK until the introduction of the K8 in 1968.
5. The K6 kiosk is made from cast iron with a teak door. It is 8’3” tall (2.4 metres) and weighs three quarters of a ton (762 kilograms).
6. The K6 design was approved by the Post Office and the Royal Fine Arts Commission, which endorsed “Post Office red” as the standard colour.
7. Although Scott agreed to the use of “Post Office red” he was never a supporter of the colour and initially suggested the outside of the kiosk be painted silver and the inside greenish-blue. He strongly urged rural kiosks be painted dove-grey.
8. Two K6 kiosks were installed in France during 1995, for the 50th anniversary of the D-Day landings.
9. Several red K6’s have been transformed into combined payphones and cash machines.
