This folder contains a repaint for the Spitfire Mk.IX by FlyingIron, in the colors of Spitfire XVI TB991 GE-L 'Liège' o fNo.349 squadron of the Belgian Air Force, 1946-1947. This aircraft was on of the 27 Spitfire LF.XVI's that were loaned by the Belgian Air Force immediately after the war until the Griffon powered LF.XIV's could be delivered that were ordered by the Belgian Government. The LF.XVI's were given Belgian roundels, although they were never owned by the Belgian Air Force. Most of these aircraft were returned to the RAF after a while, but TB991 had an accident at Beauvechain on Feb. 3rd 1947, was deemed uneconomical to repair and was not returned to the RAF, but scrapped.
