Default Temora Aviation Museum acquires a second Spitfire

The museum has just announced the acquisition of a second airworthy Spitfire.

The machine, a LF XVI version has WW2 history, having flown 12 missions with 453 (RAAF) squadron near the end of the war.

Here's a link to the aircraft's history on the NZ Alpine Fighter Collection of Sir Tim Wallis website.

It will be flown at Wanaka and will join the Temora fleet in June 2006.

Here's a pic taken by the Museum with their chief engineer, Peter Pring-Shambler running her up.
