Supermarine Spitfire (10.05.2013 @ Lelystad)

Acquired by the Aviodrome in 2003 with serial MK520 and '3W-K' markings of the 322 Squadron. The original MK520 was left behind on August 12, 1944 at Rennes airport after suffering engine trouble.. Apparently the Wing Commander turned it into a private aircraft. Mid 1945 the aircraft went to another Wing commander and taken into maintenance following creative record keeping. The aircraft changed owner again and was eventually traded for a large amount of cigarettes in the spring of 1946.
