You have an actual flying Spitfire nearby? Wow! I thought Evelyn was the
last airworthy model left anywhere.



For those who don't know, Evelyn was a Mk IXe and spent years in a kid's
playground in Pretoria (the city I grew up in) before someone started
restoring her in the late 60s. She was rebuilt at Zwartkop Air Force
Base (where I spent time as an apprentice) and stored at Lanseria
Airport (where I've spent many a happy hour drinking fine wares at the
restaurant above the apron).

Last I heard, she was sold and ended up in Brazil...
