スピットファイア F Mk. XVIII TZ219。飛行に向けて英国で修復中。1947年にインド空軍にHS683として納入され、1962年に退役し、訓練用機体となった。2019年にインド空軍博物館の所有となった。静態展示の計画だったが、飛行可能な状態に修復することも可能だった。[ 4 ] [ 278 ]最終的にこの機体はサイウェルのエア・リーシングに送られ、インド空軍ヒストリック・フライトのためにインドに返還される前に、飛行可能な状態に修復される予定である。 [ 279 ]
Spitfire PR Mk.XIX PS915. Under major refurbishment at Duxford by the Aircraft Restoration Company. Operated by the RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight at RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire. Entered service too late for the war, joining No.541 Squadron at RAF Benson in June 1945.[280][281] Before entering refurbishment it wore the colours and markings of PS888, a PRXIX of 81 Squadron based at Seletar in Singapore during the Malaya Campaign. This aircraft conducted the last ever operational sortie by an RAF Spitfire when, on 1 April 1954, it flew a photographic mission over an area of jungle in Johore thought to contain hideouts for Communist guerrillas. For the occasion, the aircraft's ground crew painted the inscription 'The Last!’ on the left engine cowling[282]
Spitfire F Mk.22 PK519 (G-SPXX). Under amateur restoration by Peter Arnold in the UK. Delivered to No. 615 Squadron in 1949[283] and lost in a collision with PK518. The wreckage was recovered in 2001 and Peter Arnold acquired it in 2012 for an airworthy restoration.[4]
スピットファイア F Mk. 22 PK624。飛行に向けて修復中。製造後、この機体は数年間 6 MU に保管され、最終的に1948 年 8 月 25 日に RAU-T として614 飛行隊に納入されました。2 年後、この機体は 6 MU で再び保管されました。PK624 は後に 9 MU に送られ、1951 年にシリア空軍への売却準備が行われていましたが、結局売却は行われず、1953 年に退役するまで RAF に保管されました。1957 年、604 飛行隊の隊員数名がこの機体の世話をし、飛行させていました (公式には RAF の機体ではありませんでしたが)。これが、 RAF アクスブリッジのゲート ガーディアン展示に展示される前の最後の飛行となりました。この機体には、何らかの理由で、デ ハビランド チップマンクのシリアル番号であるWP916が塗装されていました。これは1963年に修理され、RAFノースホルト基地に移送され、その後7年間そこに留まりました。1970年に再びRAFアビンドンに移送され、そこで614飛行隊のマーキングに再塗装されました。これが1989年にその価値が認められる前の最後の「配置」となり、当時の他のすべてのゲートガード機と同様に、風雨によるさらなる影響から保護するために降ろされ、PK624はRAFセントアサンに移送されました。ファイターコレクションは1994年に国防省と交渉してスピットファイアを入手し、国防省は時間をかけて機体を清掃し、再び飛行できるように必要な作業を行いました。[ 284 ]
