Mark, I have seen this beauty! Actually many times. I could only fit so many in the post!  :o
That is always awesome to see.
Check this one out! Looks as though the Spit is eying up that Tiger Moth for a nice meal while the other plane has it's mouth open ready to feed!  ;D

I've seen most of these in the flesh at one time or another. In fact the only one that is not a UK airshow regular in the FR XVIII in shot 4. I'm not certain about the US MkIX. Certainly we had a MkVIII in those colours on the UK cercuit for a while. The PR XIX is my local Spit and I've seen it hundreds of times and the red/silver MkXIV is quite frankly the finest Spitfire I have ever seen. Very nice pics there pal.

Roger I'm sure you have seen the chocolate-chip one, its Alain DeCadenets MkXVI TE184 based at RAF Halton!
He only used this paintjob for the '99 season, and now I think has it in 328 French Sqn markings again ;)

I though after I posted this that it may be his MkXVI but I was sure it was a MkVIII that was in the US colours. My excuse is that I only saw it like this once and it was 5 years ago ;) This aircraft is currently residing with the OFMC at Duxford and is up for disposal.
