One of twelve Seafires supplied to Ireland in 1947. They were Seafire L.3C converted to (Spitfire) LF.5C standard before delivery. The last were withdrawn in 1954 and 153, one of the last to be retired spent time on the dump at Baldonnel before being scrapped. It looks here like a twin-seat T.9 as somebody has placed a loose front canopy behind the engine! This photo was added on 8 January 2025, and has since been viewed 224 times. |
