Great news for all British Spitfire fans, PRXI PL965 is coming home!
The notorious 'pink' Spit is returning to Britain this winter from the US and will be refitted ready for next airshow season
I'll be expecting a lot of photos guys! Lets just hope she gets a nice new paintjob

Good news indeed. I must admit I preferred it in PR blue.
Does this mean the black Hurricane is coming home too?

Taff's Black Hurricane is still here. I saw it at two Duxford shows this year!
I'm so, so glad that R-Robert is comming home and, like Hagar, I hope it gets a PRU Blue paint job.

That's great. I wondered about the Hurricane as it wasn't at the RAFA show this year.
Here's some old photos of PL965 at Shoreham in its original blue & that 'orrible pink. See which you prefer. The blue looks a tad darker than it should. I always thought those D-Day stripes defeated the object of any sort of camo anyway.

I've seen a couple of shades of PRU Blue on preserved Spits. BBMF's has a lighter shade but the Rolls Royce Spit is very dark.
I know what you mean about invasion stripes. I can understand them being on the under surfaces, but over the top? Some low lever types only had under surface stripes on D-Day and all had the over the top stripes removed by late summer 1944. All stripes were ordered removed by Jan. 1945.

Yip the Hurricane never left...
The Mew Gull was the other of Taff's aircraft to have a holiday.
I don't know if the darker shade of PRU blue was anything to do with PL965 being originally restored to an American PRU scheme?
Nice to know its coming back though.

More likely my rotten photography. It's an old pic taken on my ancient automatic camera & scanned on my prehistoric scanner. I had to edit it considerably before I dared post it.

I don't think it's your photos Hagar pal, I have a couple of pics of R-Robert that look just the same. I'm not sure it's a left over from it's USAAF paint job either because I thought it was a Blue and Silver colour sceme it had. I could be very wrong about that because I only ever saw one pic of it in USAAF colours and it was still under rebuild when it was taken.
