Mark, I have seen this beauty! Actually many times. I could only fit so many in the post! Shocked

That is always awesome to see.
Check this one out! Looks as though the Spit is eying up that Tiger Moth for a nice meal while the other plane has it's mouth open ready to feed! Grin

I've seen most of these in the flesh at one time or another. In fact the only one that is not a UK airshow regular in the FR XVIII in shot 4. I'm not certain about the US MkIX. Certainly we had a MkVIII in those colours on the UK cercuit for a while. The PR XIX is my local Spit and I've seen it hundreds of times and the red/silver MkXIV is quite frankly the finest Spitfire I have ever seen. Very nice pics there pal.

Roger I'm sure you have seen the chocolate-chip one, its Alain DeCadenets MkXVI TE184 based at RAF Halton!
He only used this paintjob for the '99 season, and now I think has it in 328 French Sqn markings again Wink

I though after I posted this that it may be his MkXVI but I was sure it was a MkVIII that was in the US colours. My excuse is that I only saw it like this once and it was 5 years ago Wink

This aircraft is currently residing with the OFMC at Duxford and is up for disposal.
