The last couple of times I have been down at Stratford there has been a special aircraft in one of the hangars awaiting the processing of paperwork. Then on 14/6/19 it was registered to Gary Marsh of Inglewood as ZK-RGV, a Supermarine Spitfire Mk 25. Originally built by Peter Yates of Perth, WA it was first registered VH-XST in February 2007. Its first flight in New Zealand was flown by Wayne Richmond in the late afternoon of Wednesday 19/6/19.
The Mk 25 Spitfire is a 75% replica which will make a great pair with Gary's 75% replica Titan Mustang ZK-TVG.
Nick Furmage of the Stratford Aerodrome blog was on hand to take the following photos. You can see more photos from the day at http://blogspotbigsky.blogspot.com/

Showing the classic Spitfire lines.
The Spitfire is painted in the colours of A58-497 of 457 Squadron RAAF.
Looking great in the late afternoon sun.
