 Supermarine Spitfire LF.IXe (2018) "17" of 101 Squadron, Hatzor july 1949. 

This is one of Czechoslovakian batch and arrived in Israel at 26th December 1948. After the famous clash against RAF Spitfires/Tempests, the IAF repainted their Spitfires to the Green/Brown scheme, to avoid any confusion with the RAF's Spitfires. This skin was done directly over the original from Jindrich Barta This Spitfire has  non-mirror code (Barta's design) and the excellent Migge's cockpit/instruments. Claudio Wilches

Reslotted to Spit 2 slot for middle east campaigns
