Apt coincidence?
From reading the latest info on the Classic Wings site it appears that the Spitfire being used for the "Fly In A Spitfire" experience flights, could be Mk IX (Tr9) MJ627.
From the aircraft's history MJ627 entered service with number 441(Silver Fox) Sqn, Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) on September 25, 1944 and served with the RAF from Advanced Landing Ground B70 located in Belgium.
As previously posted I recently got a HobbyMaster 1/48 scale die cast model of a Mustang III FZ190 of 441 Squadron RCAF from May 1945.
I've also viewed footage of 441 Squadron gun camera film, mostly from 1944 when they flew Spitfires (MkIX), so I wonder what the chances are of me now flying in an aircraft I may have watched the combat footage of?…
UPDATE: Just had a look back through the handwritten notes I made in the first couple of years of the gun camera project, and I had indeed viewed some footage of MJ627 in action.
In fact the clip shot on September 27 1944, and mentioned in the 'history link' above, when Pilot Officer Bregman took off in MJ627 to patrol the Arnhem area and attacked single Bf 109.
