This is a repaint only for the Aeroplane Heaven/Justflight Spitfire. This Spitfire, HF IXc TE308, was originally built with a Merlin 70 as a high altitude fighter, but was bought by Vickers in July 1950 and converted to a two-seat trainer and supplied to the Irish Air Corp as 163. In 1968 it was sold to civilian hands and joined the mass of airframes at Elstree Airfield for the movie Battle of Britain, and was used as a camera aircraft with the camera in the front seat. It was acquired by Bill Greenwood in 1983 and wears the markings RJ-M in tribute to the Spitfire designer, Reginald J. Mitchell.
