Presentation Spitfires

Posted by dumaresqc on Mon Sep 23, 2002 11:40:19 AM

Hello all,

I have a question about presentation Spitfires, or at least one specifically.

I was visiting the website of the Canada Aviation Museum in Ottawa, and noticed that the Spitfire II in their collection, P8332, is a presentation Spitfire, Soebang (N.E.I.), presented by the Netherlands East Indies. The site says that this is the last surviving presentation Spitfire.

I found one website that lists all presentation Spitfires by serial, but does not discuss their fate. Can anyone confirm that this is the last presentation Spitfire, or suggest where I can look to find out?

Thanks,

Charles
