It's an old one from February 2005 when I did the Just Flight Spitfire review - I went back thorugh the forum to find it.

An appropriate tribute I think.

You are indeed factually correct. However it is arguably apart from the "2" on the side the most pure and unadulterated example of a Spitfire.

K5054 is better than perfect then - no ugly additions, flush exhaust keeping the lines of the cowling smooth, no guns or gunsight, not even the radio mast behind the cockpit. Pure aerodynamicism...

What's more, the colour - enough to make even a battle hardened Messerschmitt lover go weak at the knees and start dribbling...

I know one Messerschmitt lover in these parts who might disagree
