Happy B-day, Spitfire! May you keep flying for another 70 years. :yes:

 

I do not think that another aircraft should be named Spitfire...ever.

There is simply no need since there are still plenty original Spits around.

KUKULINO.

these are for you.

sorry about the small size.

As far as I know, they came from Czechoslovakia in operation "Velvet". post-1953-1217875096_thumb.jpgpost-1953-1217875123_thumb.jpgpost-1953-1217875054_thumb.jpgpost-1953-1217875073_thumb.jpg

 

The black spit was the one flown by the late chief of the IAF and later the president of Israel Eizer Waisman.

 

Cheers.

Thank you Mannie :hi:

 

Spitfire is nice on smaller pictures too :biggrin:

 

Yes, famous Black Spitfire. We sold Mk-IXE version to Israel and our pilots flews Avias S-199 than :no::crazy:

 

Eizer Waisman trained on S-199 in Czechoslovakia too. S-199 were first fighters delivered into Israel from CSSR, as we know.

 

But there were another Spitfires delivered to Israel from another countries too.

I really don't know about it. (shame on me!)

Will have to look at some history and find out about it.

 

About the S-199, I think all in all there where four of them, but I can't be sure about the numbers.

Anyway they where only few of them.

Maybe I mix up my Czechoslovak Spitfire knowledge with some Mustangs delivered into Israel from Sweden. So my mystake maybe :haha:

 

Anyway, one of the nicest planes ever made.

 

 

BTW: is somewhere hi poly 3D model as WIP? It is extremly hard plane for modders I suppose :blink:

I always thought that they should have named the Eurofighter 2000 'Spitfire', instead of Typhoon.
