dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 The Location being various areas of the USA where the movie The Lone Ranger was filmed and the legend being the Spitfire TVIII G-AIDN. Currently residing back in the UK this aircraft was owned in the USA from 1986 until 2007. Over there she actually carried the reg N58JE but has since been re registered to her UK identity.(1944 Supermarine 502 Spitfire TR.8 (LF.VIIIc) C/N 6S/729058 for those who are interested) thanks for viewing, Anyone interested in visiting the locations mentioned, they are; Creede, Durango and Alamosa in Colorado Monument Valley on the Arizona-Utah Border Moab in Utah Canyon de Chelley and Chinle in Arizona Abiquiui and Shiprock in New Mexico I managed to find most of them in the default scenery library.

Mistwalker 3 Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 I didn't know there was another 2-seater Spit besides the Grace Spit. Nice pics and paint job, Alan. Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted August 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Thanks Steve, Yes there are more than one two seater, we've got one at Goodwood just down the road from us! There are about 5 altogether, mostly built for the Irish Air Corps. 3 are currently flying in the UK and this one in the post is under restoration. The last one is believed to be in the USA. http://www.goodwood.co.uk/experiences/experiences/learn-to-fly-a-spitfire.aspx Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,283 Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Nicely done Alan. It's scarcity is good enough reason to paint it bright yellow so you can see it coming. Link to post Share on other sites
hurricanemk1c 195 Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 There were some built/converted for the USSR and the RAF, not just the Irish Aer Corps Nice shots Alan, although I'mnot too sure about the colour scheme! Link to post Share on other sites

dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted August 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 Does the owner of that aircraft live in Canary Warf? LOL, It's certainly distinctive. She's since been repainted. Link to post Share on other sites
