The most beautiful Spitfire I have ever seen - I recall it in blue and silver when it was based at Hucknall and owned by Rolls-Royce. On a low, fast flypast (I think flown by Jeffery Quill but I may be wrong) at an Open Day there (probably 1967) it was absolutely breathtaking and made an impression which is still with me today. Leslie Hunt's 'Veteran and Vintage Aircraft' book of about 1966 has it as the cover photo and records a bit of the history under 'Hucknall', recording that up to 30 July 1964 it had flown 476 hours for Rolls-Royce, much of this on display. In 1968 it was still at Hucknall but I note that by 1974 it was apparently at Castle Donington - still inaccurately painted after the Battle of Britain film.
