I am currently working on the paint scheme of a post war Spitfire that should see the light of day in the next couple of weeks. Without going into too much detail the aircraft was based at Seletar in 1953/54. In my discussion with former personnel on the base, concerning the Spitfire, they talk of the 'Purple Plain' film and of Gregory Peck being on the base at that time. The aircraft used were Mosquito 34's of 81 Squadron, the same unit as the Spitfire. The film was released in 1955.
