The final flight of last Spitfires in service with British Forces (1955)

On the occasion of the birthday of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, 1955, four Spitfires (Mk 19 and Mk 24) of the Hong Kong Auxilliary Air Force flew past His Excellency The Governor Sir Alexander Grantham G.C.M.G. marking the end of their service with British Forces. The Mk XIX (Mk 19) was the last and most successful photographic reconnaissance variant of the Spitfire. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superma...) The final version of the Spitfire, the Mk 24, first flew at South Marston on 13 April 1946. A total of 81 Mk 24s were completed, 27 of which were conversions from Mk 22s. The last Mk 24 to be built was delivered in February 1948 and were used until 1952 by 80 Squadron. Some of the squadron's aircraft went to the Hong Kong Auxiliary Air Force where they were operated until 1955. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superma...)
