Spitfire SM845

Seen here at Flying Legends 10 years ago, this griffon engined Spitfire XVIII crashed whilst landing in Germany in May last year. Fortunately the pilot suffered only minor injuries but there was significant damage to the aircraft particularly in the port wing fuselage join area. However, the aircraft has subsequently been returned to the UK and is registered to ARCO at Duxford presumably for restoration to flight.
