Harold,
It's not directly on your itinerary, but the Temora Aviation Museum in NSW, Australia (www.aviationmuseum.com.au) owns Australia's only airworthy Spitfire. They have monthly flying weekends and one is scheduled for 24/25 April. You can't guarantee the Spit will fly but quite likely (you can always email them shortly before the trip to check their plans).
Temora is not exactly straightforward to get to but not too far from Melbourne or Canberra, so certainly possible if you're keen. I haven't been, but the Museum and the flying weekends get very good reviews.
Enjoy your trip.
Regards
Russell Clarke
