EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases Supermarine Spitfire Mk PR. XI G-PRXI, registration number PL983, serial number msn 6S/585723, as it gracefully poses on the tarmac. The Spitfire PR. XI, a variant of the legendary Supermarine Spitfire, was primarily used by the Royal Air Force (RAF) for photo reconnaissance missions during World War II. This specific aircraft, G-PRXI, is a cherished part of The Peter Butt Aviation Collection, as evidenced by the meticulous preservation of its vibrant paint scheme and pristine condition. The Spitfire's iconic silhouette, with its distinctive elliptical wings and graceful lines, remains an enduring symbol of British aviation history. The Supermarine Spitfire PR. XI was an advanced development of the Spitfire Mk. IX, featuring a modified nose to accommodate cameras and reconnaissance equipment. The PR. XI was also equipped with a longer wing span and a Merlin 61 engine, which provided improved performance and range. This photograph, taken circa 2000, captures the essence of aviation history and the enduring allure of the Supermarine Spitfire. The Spitfire PR. XI, like G-PRXI, continues to be a source of fascination for aviation enthusiasts and history buffs alike, serving as a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the engineers and pilots who designed and flew these remarkable aircraft.
