HISTORY ASPECTS:
Supermarine Spitfire SM520 began life as a single-seat Mk.IX fighter, built at Castle Bromwich and delivered too late to see active combat during World War II. Instead, it served in various postwar roles before being converted into a two-seat T9 trainer by the Irish Air Corps. These postwar conversions were crucial for pilot instruction, ensuring that the skills and experience of operating a Spitfire could be passed down safely in a dual-control environment. SM520 served with distinction in Ireland before being retired and eventually sold into civilian hands.
In its civilian career, SM520 was restored and adapted to represent a wartime fighter, complete with combat-era camouflage and markings. It is now presented as Spitfire Mk.I X4382 "LO-G," a tribute to an aircraft flown by RAF No. 602 (City of Glasgow) Squadron during the Battle of Britain. This reimagining honors the memory of pilots like Pilot Officer Archie McKellar, who flew with 602 Squadron and was credited with several aerial victories during the summer of 1940. Though SM520 itself did not see combat, its current livery reflects the valor and legacy of the early war defenders of Britain’s skies.
Today, SM520 is operated by Spitfires.com from Goodwood Aerodrome, offering flight experiences that connect modern audiences with the power and agility of the legendary Spitfire. As a flying tribute to the "Few," the aircraft plays a crucial role in preserving not just history, but the emotional resonance and national memory tied to the Spitfire's silhouette and sound. With its roots in postwar service and its soul in Battle of Britain heritage, SM520 serves as a living memorial that keeps the legacy of 602 Squadron alive.
This 1:72 scale model in its LO-G wartime tribute livery is a stunning collectible that combines postwar engineering with the nostalgia of early WWII heroism. Ideal for aviation enthusiasts and history buffs alike, it faithfully captures the lines, markings, and spirit of one of Britain's most beloved fighter icons. A standout piece in any display, this replica honors both the machine and the men who once relied on it.
