As the late and lamented Spencer Flack once said - " When you pick up the bills, you can have your Spitfire any colour you wish - I'm having mine red."
One hell of a lot of effort went into getting that Spitfire as accurately as we could, back to the ACM Robb's livery, with only B/W photos to interpret. SL721 was his actual personal Spitfire. That said individualist liveries get associated with application owners, Chris Woods in this case and it is not surprising that it is about to change. Fingers crossed that they have the drawings and chips to get the basic scheme correct. We have seen some horrors from the 'port side of the pond' in the past. Sorry guys.
I am all for regular livery change and damn the expense! What say you?
