This is a repaint only for the WWII Fighters Spitfire Mk Ia. This repaint depicts the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight's Spitfire Mk IIa, P7350, in its current scheme. P7350 is the oldest airworthy Spitfire in the world and the only Spitfire still flying to have fought in the Battle of Britain, entering into service in August of 1940. P7350 served with the 266 Squadron and 603 'City of Edinburgh' Squadron during the Battle of Britain, and was forced to make a crash landing after being involved in combat with Bf 109s. P7350 would go on to serve with 616 and 64 Squadrons until 1942 when she was relegated to support duties. P7350 would survive the war and in 1948 was given to the RAF museum in Colerne. Restored to flying condition in 1968 and utilized in the epic film "Battle of Britain", P7350 was presented to the BBMF shortly after filming ended. Currently the aircraft is operated as 'XT-L', an aircraft flown by Gerald 'Stampe' Stapleton, during the Battle of Britain, with 603 Squadron.
