Here in New Zealand Brendon Deere's Mk IX Spitfire PV 270 took to the air again yesterday. Painted as "AL" as flown by Brendon's famous relative Al Deere. She is due to appear at the Classic Fighters Airshow held at Omaka over Easter weekend.

[Mod Ed, JDK; you don't need to quote pic posts straight under - just slows the forum for some. Not directed at Jesse C in particular!]

That is one nice looking bird! Looking forward to in flight pics!

Thanks PeterA
