- HISTORY ASPECTS:
- The Supermarine Spitfire T9 TE308, also known as G-AWGB, was a British fighter aircraft that played a significant role in World War II. It was one of the most successful fighters of its time and was famous for its speed and agility. The Spitfire T9 was built to be a training aircraft for the Royal Air Force, and it was first flown in 1944. It was powered by a Rolls-Royce Merlin 66 engine, and it had a top speed of over 400 mph.
- During World War II, the Spitfire T9 was used in various conflicts, including the Battle of Britain, the North African Campaign, and the Italian Campaign. It was also used in the Pacific theater of operations, where it played a significant role in the defense of Australia. After the war, the Spitfire T9 continued to serve in various air forces around the world, including the Royal Air Force, the Indian Air Force, and the Belgian Air Force.
- The Spitfire T9 TE308, which was finished as A58-606, was one of the last Spitfires to be built, and it served as a training aircraft for the Royal Australian Air Force. It was later sold to a private owner in the United Kingdom, where it was restored to its former glory and painted in the colors of the Royal Australian Air Force.
