History of the original JG891
Construction and deployment: Spitfire JG891 was built at the Castle Bromwich factory and was delivered to the RAF on January 2, 1943. Instead of heading to Malta, it was shipped to Australia and issued to No. 79 Squadron RAAF, which was operating in Papua New Guinea.
Written off: The aircraft was written off after a flapless landing on January 12, 1944, and the wreckage was left in undergrowth.
Restoration: Discovered in 1973, the Spitfire was eventually acquired by Historic Flying at Duxford in 1999 and was fully restored.
Owner and registration: The restored aircraft was later acquired by Comanche Fighters and given the civilian registration G-LFVC.
JG891's 249 Squadron tribute
The fully restored Spitfire JG891 was repainted to honor the pilots of the Malta campaign. It is painted in the authentic colors of a Mk Vc of 249 Squadron, which was based at Ta Qali airfield in Malta in 1943.
The tribute livery represents JK879, a Spitfire flown by Flight Sergeant John G. "Jack" Hughes of the Royal Canadian Air Force while serving with 249 Squadron.
249 Squadron and Malta
Arrival in Malta: 249 Squadron arrived in Malta in May 1941 and converted to Spitfires in February 1942.
Ta Qali airfield: The squadron flew from Ta Qali airfield during the pivotal period of the Siege of Malta.
Malta defense: The island was subjected to intense enemy bombing, and the 249 Squadron was one of the most successful RAF fighter units in its defense.
