This PR.XIX Spitfire is finished in the colour scheme of PS888 flown by Sqn Ldr Swaby, of 81 Squadron, RAF Seletar, Singapore, who on April 1st 1954, flew the Supermarine Spitfire's last ever RAF operational sortie over Malaya.

I do wonder whether my Father ever saw it fly over him as he cut his way through the Malayan jungle when he was there in the early 1950s.
