More photos from my series of posts from my visit to The Royal Air Force Museum London in 2022, and the second set of walkaround images. These are of the Supermarine Spitfire F.24 PK724, part of the "War in the Air 1918–1980" exhibit in Hangars 3, 4, and 5. I was not able to get access to the cockpit to take any photos. PK724 was built in 1946 and only had seven flying hours before it was declared a “non-effective airframe” and moved to RAF Norton, Sheffield for instructional use and then as a gate guardian at RAF Gaydon, Warwickshire. It almost participated in the Battle of Britain film but ended up not being rebuilt to flying condition for that. In 1971 it was moved to the RAF Museum. It is one of only three surviving Spitfire F.24s. This info and more about the history of this airframe was taken from: https://www.rafmuseum.org.uk/documents/collections/74-A-22-Spitfire-24-PK724.pdf Thanks for looking, and I have many more pictures to share
