@ Camarillo Municipal Airport, CA
August 2017
While attending the 2017 Wings Over Camarillo Airshow, I spied the Commemorative Air Force undergoing maintenance. With only 957 of this version, it was the first Spitfire to go in production with the Rolls Royce Griffon 65 V-12 engine. The 2,050 horspower of the Griffon necessitated the use of a five-bladed propeller. This aircraft entered service with the Royal Air Force in 1944 and was later transferred to the Indian Air Force, returning to England in 1983 for restoration. Nikon D7100 w/18-200mm.
