RAF : Aircraft : Wartime



Spitfire P7350 (front) flies alongside Hurricane LF363 (back). P7350 (Mk IIa) is the oldest airworthy Spitfire in the world and the only Spitfire still flying to have actually fought in the Battle of Britain. LF363 (Mk IIC) was the last Hurricane to enter service with the RAF. The aircraft currently wears the colours of Hurricane Mk 1 P3878 'YB-W', the aircraft of Flying Officer Harold Bird-Wilson of No 17 Sqn during the Battle of Britain.
