This Spitfire, produced at the Castle Bromwich factory of Vickers Supermarine, flew with the No. 312. It was one of 54 machines given to the newly re-formed Czechoslovak Air Force and was assigned to Posta. Throughout 1945-46, Posta performed solo aerobatic demonstrations in this aircraft for hundreds of thousands of people at significant national holidays, such as National Day, October 28, 1945, to raise the self-esteem of a vanquished nation. Having sustained a “wheels up” landing accident, our Spit was displayed in a Mandalay museum with a T-6 tail and cellophane windscreen. After several private transactions, the essential components returned to Duxford as a Historic Flying, Ltd. project.

The aircraft was delivered to HFF and test flown in October 2010.
