Title: Mk.IXc PV270/ZK-SPI walkaround Post by: ZacYates on April 24, 2009, 07:34:25 AM Hi all
For my first post I'd like to share some shots of Brendon Deere's stunning IXc, taken at RNZAF Ohakea about two weeks prior to her first flight.

Wonderful to see a Mk. IXc with fishtail exhausts and all. Do you know which version of the Merlin is featured on this one?

According to the aircraft's website - http://www.integration.co.nz/spitfirepv270/index.htm - she is fitted with a Merlin 70. As today is ANZAC Day here in New Zealand, PV270 will perform flyovers around the local area today, landing at Wanganui airport for the first time. I've waited a long time to see this happen, and I look forward to seeing and hearing her again. I left the camera's charger in Blenheim after the Classic Fighters airshow over Easter - PV270's public debut - so this photograph, taken with my cellphone, is all I have!

New Zealand seems to be the aircraft restoration place to be these days.
