Vertical aspect view of the Cockpit of Replica RAF Spitfire Mk.XVI TB900 (Code 9N-F) at Fighter World, RAAF Williamtown (YWLM) on 10May2014. The replica was built for the 1988 Bi-Centennial Air Show at RAAF Richmond by Eric Mathews. ‘TB900 was delivered to 127 Sqn RAF on 17th March,1945 and was named ‘Winston Churchill’. Flying Officer Jeffrey (Robbie) Robinson (RAAF) from Newcastle NSW, flew the aircraft in Europe on ground attack missions. The aircraft was transferred to the Belgian Air Force where it met an untimely end on 30th May,1946 when it crashed at Sylt Germany and was destroyed on impact’. (Ref: Fighter World website). Comparison with a vertical aspect view of a real Spitfire Cockpit (VH-HET) is interesting.
