This Spitfire Mk-X has an interesting story. It was built in 1943 and served in North Africa under British flag. Then, it was transferred to USAAF until the end of the war. After WWII, it was sold to the South African AF and remained in service until 1954. It was, then, incredibly left as a "playground" at a Children's Hospital in SA. A collector bought it in 1967 and started its long process of restoration. In 1986, after been carefully restored by different professionals it was transferred to a museum in California where it performed various air shows. In 1993, this beauty received a new painting representing the colors of the famous Brit ace James Edgar "Johnnie" Johnson. Rolls-Royce bought it in 2000 and sent it to be preserved by TAM Museum. It's a piece of art, guys!
