Well its been a long time since I jumped in a Spit, so I took my Belgian Mk IX clip-wing up for a quick spin out from Biggin Hill....
So sucking up the view, cockpit open for a little fresh air

Sucking up the view the right way up (for me), I'm sure there is some Chiroptera blood in my veins...

Tally ho, target (London) nine o'clock

Diving out of the sun at this hour means coming in on the deck! Look at those shadows....

Yup the Belgians and the Dutch got a number of Spits after the war, including v.rare T9s!
Several are flying, and a number of others are now gathering dust in museums...

Mark, I'm willing to bet that those "charming men in blue" which you have referred to are all related and even have the same Christian name ?.......all "brothers-in-law" and all are known as Robt, but in the short form of that name.........

So how about sending me a message and telling me where it came? As long as we're talking about Spits, do you have the Battle of Britain add-on? If you do, do you think that in terms of quality, the planes will do well in FS 2004? Grin

Nice ones Mark. I was wondering if you had dusted off the controls recently and been out reaking havok. Should have told the "boys in blue" to come up and get you.......
Now that would have been fun!! Grin

I'm sure I've missed the point now but I can tell you it's a repaint of Paul Rebuffat's LF MKIXe that has been redone for FS2K2. The LF IXe is only in IAF colours but he did a LF MkXVIc (same as a Mk XI and with clipped wings) but sadly I've not been able to get into Paul's site now for ages and I don't know anywhere else you can find the MkIXe.
Ozzy pal, love that plane and nice shots. Oh by the way, I posted loads of Spit photo's for you to look at but you've not seen them yet!!!
