The Spitfire replica in its new home.  Its painted in the markings  of an aircraft of 72 Squadron, based on a well-known colour photo shot in 1941. Records indicate this Spitfire (serial P7895) served with several units, and was struck off charge in March, 1945.  In a later unfortunate conflict, 72 Sqn - this time with Wessex helicopters - served many years in Northern Ireland.   They have one of those 72 Sqn helicopters in their collection.
