EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases Supermarine Spitfire Mk LF Mk. XVIe G-MXVI, a rare and historic aviation icon, as it gracefully soars through the clear blue sky. The Spitfire, with the registration number CBAF/IX/4394, is a treasured addition to The Peter Butt Aviation Collection. Manufactured by Supermarine, a subsidiary of Vickers-Armstrongs, the Spitfire is a single-seat, single-engine propeller-driven fighter aircraft, renowned for its exceptional performance and versatility. The Mk LF Mk. XVIe variant, specifically, was designed for night fighting and was equipped with AI Mk.XV air interception radar, making it an essential asset during World War II. This particular Spitfire, G-MXVI, was restored to flying condition and preserved for aviation enthusiasts to admire and appreciate. Circa 1990, the aircraft appears in pristine condition, its iconic silver and green camouflage gleaming in the sunlight. The image captures the essence of flight, transporting us back in time to an era of bravery, innovation, and awe-inspiring aviation achievements. The Supermarine Spitfire remains an enduring symbol of British aviation history and a testament to the ingenuity and determination of its designers and pilots. This photograph, from The Peter Butt Aviation Collection, offers a unique and captivating glimpse into the world of flight and the rich heritage of aviation.
