Product Info
With so many airworthy two-seat Spitfires currently offering members of the public
once-in-a-lifetime flight experience opportunities around the country, it’s interesting
that every Spitfire T.9 started as a single-seat fighter, either a Mk.VIII or more commonly,
a Mk.IX. Also, despite the Spitfire being arguably the most famous fighting aeroplane
in history, with over 20,000 aircraft eventually produced, no official two-seat training
variants were produced during the Second World War. A post-war phenomenon,
the current fleet of Spitfire T.9s is helping to preserve the legacy of this magnificent
aircraft.
