I was just wondering how many hours ML407 flys per year over the last 20 years or so?

Just interested if there are any figures.

ML407 has now flown, since 29th April 1944 in the region of 2,500 hours. This will make it the highest hour Spitfire ever.

One carefull owner and only used to go to church on Sundays Eh?Huh

Long may ML407 be tribute to the designer, the few and to Nick Grace the man that put such an historic aircraft back together.

ML407 had flown 319.50 hours with the RAF when purchased by Vickers Armstrong in 1950. It then flew 762.35 hours with the Irish Air Corps and its last flight was on 8 July 1960.
