 On the ML407 topic board supporter me109g4 asked about all the 2 seat Spits flying together - how many are there in flying condition ?

Not long ago I found a good source for listing this - on the Spitfire Society website (www.spitfiresociety.com) and click on the tab for "Airworthy Spitfires." It takes you to a pdf file listing of all the airworthy Spitfires.

Looks like six two-seat trainers around the world are fully airworthy.  Don't know anything about MT818 other than it being listed as Under Refurbishment.  TE308 is in my home state of Colorado awaiting repairs after being pranged in a taxiing accident a few years ago - with a Hurricane at Oshkosh from what I read!

Five of the six were at the Duxford Battle of Britain airshow last September - it was a memorable reason for me to have crossed the pond!

My best, Mike

     Indeed it was, along with MJ627 and PT462.
     As Mike said, there were five at Duxford last year, impressive sight.
