Spitfires, Duxford 2012

Mark 1a & IXT

Mark a & IXT

MARK Vb, XV1 and Twin Seater

MARK  1a  P9374


The order came through on May 23, 1940 for Flight Officer Peter Cazenove to head for RAF Hornchurch, Essex in his aircraft for a briefing before heading for France to intercept German Bombers. His flight into enemy territory did not last long. He was shot done 55 minutes  after take off from Hornchurch, and crash landed  on a beach near Calais. Forty years after, his Supermarine Spitfire P9374 re-emerged from the muddy coastine, and now it has been painstakingly rebuilt by the Aircraft Restoration Company. In the year that Supermarine Spitfire is making its 75th anniversary.
