A few years back was very foutunate to spend some time with the late Langdon Badger
and his wonderful Spitfire MkV trop. If you are ever in Adelaide well worth having a look
over this awesome restoration and piece of history, RIP Langdon and thank you.

The South Australian Aviation Museum in Adelaide, well worth it, they also have an Anson
well on the way and quite a bit of a Fairy Battle as well, web site link and an earlier post
from my visit some time back below.

That Spitfire is a beautiful specimen! There must be an interesting story behind its service, recovery, and restoration

yes she is a gem, a couple of things I can remember, she has a zero timed engine
bar the factory run, very complete only missing part the signal flare chute
