Flying version. Spitfire Mk IXc, No 602 Squadron, flown by P/O Pierre Clostermann The Mk IX is the last of the Merlin-engined Spitfires, and is often considered as the most beautiful and best of all Spitfire versions. This Mk Ixc was flown by Pierre Clostermann. After a stay with No 341 “Alsace” Squadron, Clostermann was assigned to No 602 “City of Glasgow” Squadron. Bearing the red lion emblem and the French croix de Lorraine, this Spitfire ended its career flying with the Italian air force in 1947. Clostermann probably never achieved any victories in this aircraft, but was credited with 4 confirmed victories on other 602 aircraft before converting to the Hawker Tempest. He ended the war with 33 victories. I also have static version. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________  photo a1_zpse84e0eaf.jpg
