    Vickers-Supermarine MK IX Spitfire
    Bonhams to Auction an Airworthy Two-Seater Vickers-Supermarine MK IX Spitfire, RAF Thruxton Hampshire, Britain - 12 Mar 2009
    An airworthy Vickers-Supermarine Mk1X Spitfire is expected to fetch at least GBP 1.5 - 2 million when it goes under the hammer. The plane is being sold by a private seller on April 20 at the RAF Museum in Hendon, north London, by Bonhams. The legendary aircraft is the second of the Second World War planes to be sold in the last year. Last September Bonhams sold a non-airworthy 1945 Supermarine Spitfire for a record price of GBP 1.1 million. And this plane is considered to be even more desirable that that one. This latest Spitfire, built in 1944, was originally a single-seat Mark IX which saw service with the RAF. Following the war the plane was sold to the South African Air Force. In the 1970s it was rediscovered in a Cape Town scrapyard and rescued by the late building developer and aviation enthusiast Charles Church. It has changed hands several times since then and has been subject to a five-year restoration project to make it airworthy again.

Last September Bonhams sold a non-airworthy 1945 Supermarine Spitfire for a record price of GBP 1.1 million. And this plane is considered to be even more desirable that that one. This latest Spitfire, built in 1944, was originally a single-seat Mark IX which saw service with the RAF. Following the war the plane was sold to the South African Air Force. In the 1970s it was rediscovered in a Cape Town scrapyard and rescued by the late building developer and aviation enthusiast Charles Church. It has changed hands several times since then and has been subject to a five-year restoration project to make it airworthy again.
