This aircraft served with No. 485 (NZ) Squadron RAF, a unit known for its distinguished service in the European theater. The Spitfire Mk IXC was developed as a direct response to the appearance of the German Focke-Wulf Fw 190, which had outclassed earlier Spitfire models. The Mk IXC variant, equipped with a Merlin 61 engine, significantly enhanced the aircraft's performance, making it one of the RAF's most effective fighters.ML407 played a crucial role in several key operations, including the Normandy invasion on D-Day, June 6, 1944. On that historic day, P/O Johnny Houlton achieved a notable feat by claiming the first Allied aerial victory over Normandy. Houlton and his squadron were on a mission to provide air support for the invading forces when they encountered a German Junkers Ju 88 bomber. Houlton successfully engaged and shot down the bomber, marking a significant contribution to the air superiority that was critical for the success of the invasion.Throughout its service, the Spitfire Mk IXC ML407 continued to participate in various combat operations across Europe. The aircraft and its pilot were involved in escorting bombers, conducting ground-attack missions, and engaging enemy fighters. The resilience and adaptability of the Spitfire Mk IXC, coupled with the skill of pilots like Johnny Houlton, helped maintain the Allies' air dominance throughout the war. Houlton's personal aircraft, ML407, remains one of the most celebrated Spitfires, symbolizing the bravery and excellence of the pilots who flew them.This 1:72 scale model is perfect for aviation enthusiasts and collectors. With detailed features and authentic markings, it celebrates the legacy of P/O Johnny Houlton and the pivotal role of this iconic aircraft in World War II. Enhance your collection with this tribute to one of the most legendary fighters in aviation history.PAYMENT INSTRUCTIONS:We gladly accept paypal.Tracking info is free upon request.SHIPPING INFO:We do combine shipping cost for two or more items purchased.
