Spitfire 1a G-IADX

Currently on display in the Spitfire museum at Manston is Spitfire 1a P9337. This aircraft first flew in February 1940, shot down a Me110 over Dunkirk and operated out of Duxford and Hornchurch during the Battle of Britain. On 30th August 1940 it was shot down over Ashford by a Me109. The pilot bailed out and the aircraft crashed at Romney Marsh. Significant remains have been used for a partial rebuild and the Spitfire has now been acquired by Matthew Weston of Ramsgate and the aim is to return it to flight.
