SuperMarine was the name of the company that created and built the Spitfire by
R.J. Mitchell (played by Leslie Howard in the movies) . The SeaFire was a carrier version, which was updated to make it more robust for carrier landings.
~SeaFire... The last iteration of the Spitfire-series beyond the SuperMarine? (or was the SuperMarine the last?), --would indeed be most interesting to know the story about how this beautiful bird of prey was heroically absconded with, --so as to righteously preserve it for posterity! Besides the stealthy barn-owner, and the restoration-team, -the elder Test-pilot, and aerial photographer are also to be congratulated; --job well done by all...!!!
Spitfire/Seafire-most beautiful plane ever made, IMO. Not the best carrier aircraft because of the narrow landing gear setup, but one of the greatest airplanes in history.
Congratulations on a fabulous job. After watching the full video and seeing the take off, I shared in your joy at seeing YOUR work and bringing this beautiful lady back to life. Thankyou personally at providing me another warbird to see in the air, and thankyou on behalf of all future generations who will have a chance to see this lady fly.
@djb1232005 Possibly, but I had a "borrowed" Browning HiPower 9mm that was brought home in WW2 from the Canadian Army, and was able to keep it, because the Gov't declared it lost. I registered it legally and enjoyed it for many years. Perhaps this was declared "lost" as well?
fantastic job,brilliant work,thanks for sharing this..

Although long ago, if it had been stolen, wouldn't it still be the property of the Canadian government ?
