https://www.facebook.com/EuropeAirShows ... &__tn__=-RThe "Russian Spitfire" has made its first post-restoration flight 75 years after she was last flown by a young Russian pilot!
Vickers Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IX belonging to the Hangar 11 Collection has made its first post-restoration flight on Wednesday 29th of October 2020. This exact airframe was one of the 1,338 Spitfires that were supplied to the USSR under the Lend-Lease terms during the World War II.
On the 18th of May 1945, PT879 unfortunately collided with another Spitfire and crashed on the Kola Peninsula after only 28.5 hours total time in the squadron. It was recovered in 1997 and acquired by Peter Teichman in 2001, after long-term storage in 2012 the spitfire was taken to Sandown on the Isle of Wight where the long process of restoration to flight was undertaken and completed at North Weald Airfield.
