Supermarine Spitfire LF Mk.XVIE
A bit of history of the actual aircraft is here: https://www.airforcemuseum.co.nz/aircra ... f-mk-xvie/
The fibreglass replica used to stand outside the Brevet Club on the approach to Christchurch airport. The Brevet Club was demolished and the Spitfire relocated to Spitfire Square, a shopping complex close to the airport.

I remember seeing the Spitfire at the airport back in 2013 but didn’t notice the stubby wings at the time.
It’s a shame it’s been moved, its most fitting home is at an airfield. I used to love driving passed RAF Northolt in London as a kid just so I could look at the Spitfire at the gates.

Dry and a bit of sun so top down and head out for a drive.

Snow, hail and rain meant it had to go back up for about 15 minutes but overall it was great.

As I was out taking the pictures an unmarked 5 series was pulling a wee Suzuki estate of some description. Glad I decided to take some pictures.

It was cleaner yesterday after I washed it.
Space grey is very forgiving in the sun.
Hides the dirt well.
Roads were still damp in places, but nice to get the roof down in the sun

Met up with kinger (mike) for a coffee today, both cars covered in mud due to the local conditions!

I definitely want silver mirrors for my black E89.....nice to see these cars being used and enjoyed...I am suffering with a long term back injury at the moment and the chances of me being able to even get in and out of my car for the next month or so seem a long way off

If what I read is right there could be a bit of truth in that for all pensioners. Ya pay in yer whole life and what do you get? Crumbs

Ah - The magnificent Spitfire(s). Never was a better mechanical bird. A thing to be proud of for sure. There is a flying museum close by. The drag out all the WWII birds once a year for a wonderful show. All the planes roaring by in one low pass after another from Allies and Axis nations. Love the big radial engines
