Supermarine Spitfire XIV NX114BP

Palm Springs Aviation Museum

Quite a rare Griffon-engined Spitfire. According to the blurb, this one is even a combat veteran, having shot down a V1 over England! It appears to be complete apart from the trim tabs being missing, nevertheless I got the feeling this one is not an active flyer.
