Yesterday the Supermarine Spitfire Mk IX of the RNLAF Historic Flight
Foundation skidded of the runway on landing at Gilze-Rijen airbase in the
Netherlands. The pilot was ok, but the aircraft suffered some damage.
These
are the only pictures I could find.
The news agencies say this was the only flight-worthy Spitfire on the
European mainland.
Hope it will be restored before the next airshow in Holland. I've heard it
fly and the sound is incredible.

Taken at the RNLAF Open Days at Volkel earlier this summer, together with
DC-2 PH-AJU "Uiver":
