The Spitfire PS915 was handed over to the RAF in full flying operational condition after three years work on the machine.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Restored to its Former Glory: RAF Spitfire Takes Flight Once Again". In this photo print, we witness the remarkable revival of an iconic RAF Spitfire fighter plane. After years of serving as a gate guard at RAF Bawdry in Wales, the Spitfire PS915 has been meticulously refurbished by dedicated British Aerospace apprentices and staff. Their unwavering commitment is evident as they proudly stand atop the tailplane, ready to witness this magnificent aircraft take flight once again. This historic moment marks the culmination of three years' worth of painstaking work on the machine. The result? A fully operational flying marvel that showcases both engineering prowess and respect for aviation heritage. As it gracefully taxis towards the runway, one can't help but notice how its nose-heavy nature necessitates additional "ballast" to keep the tail-plane down. Transporting us back to March 1987, this photograph encapsulates not only a significant milestone in aviation history but also pays homage to those who contributed their expertise and passion towards preserving our past. It serves as a reminder of World War Two's indelible mark on our collective memory while celebrating the Royal Air Force's enduring legacy. Captured by Alfred Markey from Memory Lane Prints, this image immortalizes an era when bravery soared through clear skies and reminds us all that with dedication and skill, even time-tested relics can be given new life.
