Just over year ago, I was very lucky to be given the opportunity to fly in a 2 seat spitfire operated by the Aerial Collective based at the famous fighter base of Duxford in the UK. This is a special Spitfire as it is a dual-control Spitfire T.IX and the one I flew in, and got to fly briefly, was Charlie, Charlie Alpha, 202 & ‘5R-H’.
My video of this experience is here: • SKippy's Spitfire T.IX...
It was amazing and I wanted to be able to fly it again, so what better way than to make my own!
Having previously built a Guillow's Spitfire (403 kit), I decided to take this same kit, but a laser cut version this time, and convert it as best I could to a Mk.IX 2 seater with it's different tail, elevators, exhaust manifolds and radiator coolers; and of course the second seat!
I am very happy with how she has turned out and hope that you enjoy this video and all of my earlier ones if you want to see how I got to this end result!
Fingers crossed for the maiden when I finally get to the field next.
