Wg Cmdr Alan Deere's Spitfire, is alive an well and being flown on behalf of the RNZAF Historical [flight where it resides] by one Sqn Leader Sean Perrett, RNZAF, but ex-RAF Red Arrows and Harriers. His day job is instructing on Kingairs.
The aircraft was purchased by Brendon Deere, the legendary Alan Deere's nephew, and restored in New Zealand, but first flown from the RNZAF Base at Ohakea carrying the letters "AL".
There are some magnificent photo's here:
