Photo Comment

While in Canada as CF-RAF / C-FRAF, this two seat Spitfire was converted to single seat configuration by covering the aft cockpit. Acquired by the Owls Head Transport Museum in 1975, it was registered N92477. Registered N308WK with a new owner in 1979, it was restored to a 2 seater. Exported to the UK in 2019, it was overhauled and registered G-AWGB before flying again in 2020.
