Airfix - Supermarine Spitfire Tr.9 - 1:48
Product Code:
A05143
With so many airworthy two-seat Spitfires currently
offering members of the public once-in-a-lifetime flight experience
opportunities around the country, it’s interesting that every Spitfire
T.9 started as a single-seat fighter, either a Mk.VIII or more commonly,
a Mk.IX. Also, despite the Spitfire being arguably the most famous
fighting aeroplane in history, with over 20,000 aircraft eventually
produced, no official two-seat training variants were produced during
the Second World War. A post-war phenomenon, the current fleet of
Spitfire T.9s is helping to preserve the legacy of this magnificent
aircraft.
