Banham: "Originally built as a Type 359 Spitfire F.Mk.VIII in
1944, RAF s/n MT818. In 1946 it was converted to the Type 502 Spitfire
T.Mk.VIII two-seat demonstration trainer. First it carried the 'Class B'
marking
N-32 but later it was registered as G-AIDN. At the time of the
photo G-AIDN was owned by John Fairey, the aircraft is shown in the
colours of the Hampshire Flying Club. It was de-registered on July 3,
1986 and sold to the USA and registered N58JE on August 13, 1986 and
is still registered to a private owner in Oregon."
