Large size WW2/Cold War aircraft silhouette from the date shown.

Easily mistaken for its more famous cousin, the Spitfire, this is the naval version – hence the name. In all visual regards, the silhouette is identical to the Spitfire. In practical terms, the aircraft had an arrestor hook for carrier landings and the wings folded allowing the aircraft to be lowered below the flight deck.

This is an exceptionally rare survivor from WW2. It is in excellent condition, complete and just one light fold across the middle.

Good condition, one light central fold, complete, no loss – see images
