Hi Zuluecho....
The one without the invasion stripes ?
Its PS915 Mk PRXIX
The colour scheme is actually PS888 of 81 Sqd based at Seletar in Singapore during the Malaya campaign.This aircraft flew the last operational sortie by an RAF Spitfire on 1st April 1954
Its flying with an ex Shackleton Griffon 58 engine...
Very nice pics. I went to the Air Tattoo back in 1997. Was a great airshow and in my opinion the best one in the world. Highlight when I went was when the B-2 did a fly by and landed at the air show.
