I, and many others, have waited a long time to see MJ772 airborne again. As much as I miss the Champlin collection being right here in my back yard I would ten times rather see the Spitfire flying in Germany than parked in a museum here in the States. Just goes to show you that times change and even though an aiframe is static in a museum today does not mean that it always will be. There is hope!

MJ772, is that the one formally on display in Oshkosh?

The owner of both ac is Air Fighter Academy based at Heringsdorf (Usedom). They are constantly enlarging their collection. they do have by now (only airworthy and frequently flown ac):

HA 1112 Buchon, Bücker Jungmann, NAA AT 6, Boeing Stearman, Polikarpov Po 2, Yakovlev Yak 9 UM, De Havilland D.H. 82 Tiger Moth and now Supermarine Spitfire T9 and NAA TF 51. (there would have been P 51 D (BBD) as well, if not crashed at Duxford last year)

I would say a quite impressive collection, especially regarding the short time since starting it. Well worth visiting if in the vicinity.

Overall good collection, but poor website (at least so far, lol).
