This is a repaint for the Flyingiron Spitfire IX, showing PT462 (G-CTIX) in it's late 2025 scheme.

This livery is designed with references from 2024 and late 2025, including accurate decals next to the cockpit and squadron markings.

Supermarine Spitfire PT462 (G-CTIX) was constructed at Castle Bromwich as a single seat HFIX variant. Following preparation for active service at RAF Colerne in July 1944, the aeroplane was taken to Dumfries and loaded onto the Silver Sandal for shipment out to the Mediterranean theatre. Records place PT462 with 4 Squadron, South African Air Force in Italy in November 1944 coded ‘KJ-Z’ based initially at Bellaria and later Forli. In early 1945 the Spitfire was transferred back to the Royal Air Force – it is thought to have spent time with 73 and 326 Squadrons before moving to 253 Squadron where it gained the codes ‘SW-A’. As the war in Europe was in its final chapter, most of the aircraft’s operations consisted of reconnaissance and strafing of targets rather than the air-to-air combat more typically associated with the type. In 1984, PT462 was sold to property magnate and warbird collector Charles Church who commenced a rebuild of the aircraft back to flying condition. Church opted to convert the aeroplane to the ‘low back’ two-seat configuration designed by Nick Grace and Dick Melton, and utilised the original wings of another ex-Israeli Spitfire, TE517. The wings were modified to incorporate the leading-edge fuel tanks as fitted to the Spitfire PRXI, giving a significant increase to the aeroplane’s range. In July 1987, PT462 returned to flight with the civil registration G-CTIX, in the hands of the Shuttleworth Collection’s then chief pilot, John Lewis. As of 2017, PT462 is flying with ARCo alongside PV202, carrying passengers with Aerial Collective out of IWM Duxford in the UK.

As the aircraft has been converted to a 2 seater in real life, the gunsight has been removed to allow for a modern GPS. For additional realism it is best to remove the gunsight using the tablet inside the aircraft.
