Spitfire ZK-NLJ/TB252 Flies at Ardmore

Just in time to be a wonderful Christmas present for some lucky person, Spitfire LF Mk XVI ZK-NLJ/TB252 test flew from Ardmore on 18/12/20 flown by John Lamont:

This Spitfire arrived at Avspecs way back in 2002 when it was owned by Tony Banta of Livermore CA.  On 27/3/20 it was registered to Avspecs Ltd and I understand that it will be heading off to the aforesaid lucky overseas owner.

Airborne again for the first time in nearly 70 years!

    Said lucky person is Charles Somers, whose collection at Sacramento also includes Mosquito N474PZ and Tomahawk N295RL (among others).
