TE330 was in New Zealand for some time, being in the Subritsky collection, although it was not flown before it went to Beijing - Datangshan, I think. There was a bit of an outcry about it leaving the country, but the Chinese paid a hefty sum for it. The aircraft first served with 601 Sqn RAuxAF in 1948 and in 1958 it flew with the North Weald Station Flight, the forerunner of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight. In July that year it went to Colorado Springs and was repainted in Dark Earth and Dark green top colours and had the scroll painted on it that's visible in the picture, which reads "This Spitfire is representative of the aircraft flown by the pilots of Fighter Command during the Second World War" with the Fighter Command crest visible below it. It went to the USAF Museum at Wright Patterson in 1961.
