He has a Lanc?!

Im sure there is a list here of what he does have but is it easier to make a list of what he doesn't? Someone on facebook brought up a good point. To have so many toys that you dont fly your Spitfire for 17 years! Amazing! Can't wait till it re-opens in whatever form it takes.

This plane is painted to represent the plane of the Belgian pilot Raymont Lallemand : he was a Typhoon pilot during WWII and flown on Spitfire after the end of the war.
I'm not wrong this bird was part of the transition and rebirth of the Belgian Air Force.

I hope this plane will not be repainted in the future : as far I know it the only flying one representing a Belgian pilot mount.
