Boris In Scotland
Boris was in Scotland yesterday and visited, I presume Lossiemouth, where I presume this shot of him with a late Mk Spitfire as aback drop was taken. Can anyone tell me about the Spitfire please? My first assumption was that it was at East Fortune but it looks like the hangar the Typhoons are in.

It was delivered to 1(F) Sqn in 1945 and flown over Europe at the end of WW2. Presumably it was on display at Wittering before going into storage. When 1(F) Sqn moved to Lossiemouth in September 2014 it arrived a few months later on low loaders and was reassembled in the refurbished 1(F) Sqn hangar. Its twin is hanging from the roof of the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in Glasgow. The Glasgow specimen was originally delivered to 1(F) Sqn before being transferred to 602 City of Glasgow Sqn.
