Boultbee gets combat vet Spitfire

摘要

Spitfire Ⅸ MJ271 was registered as G-IRTY by the Goodwood-based Boultbee Flight Academy on 26 September, a decade after it arrived at Duxford from the Netherlands for Historic Flying Ltd. The aircraft had previously been on show at the National Luchtvaart Museum Aviodome at Schiphol, Amsterdam, but following the relocation of that collection to Lelystad during 2003 MJ271 was declared surplus and eventually acquired by Historic Flying in an exchange deal that saw Fairey Firefly I PP469/SE-CAU moving from Duxford to Holland.
