The elegance and power of a flying myth
A timeless symbol of the Second World War, the Spitfire remains one of the most emblematic aircraft in aviation history. The MH415, Mk IX version, is the perfect embodiment of this legend. Preserved in flying condition and based in Germany, it is flown today by Georg Raab, who perpetuates its history with passion and respect.
A veteran with a remarkable past
Built in 1943, MH415 is a true veteran of Royal Air Force service in the Second World War. It took part in missions over continental Europe, escorted bombers and fought enemy fighters in the critical phases of liberation.
After the war, the aircraft was transferred to other air forces before being preserved, restored and put back in the air several decades later. It still retains its original lines, military livery and legendary performance.
