Hi Alex

I think the Spit you're referring to is V-Vicky (ML407). It was restored by Nick Grace and flown by him until he was killed in a car accident. The aircraft is now flown by his widow Caroline or by his son. Very popular on the airshow circuit. I seem to remember the restoration being shown on TV. ML407 is a genuine WW2 veteran Mk9 converted to a 2-seater after the war.
