Seen here exactly three months after making her first flight after a highly protracted restoration programme, this Seafire was built by Westland in 1944. Marks represent an aircraft of 880 Sqn FAA when embarked on HMS Implacable. Although several restorations are underway, only four Seafires are currently airworthy
