given the disappointment of some in not seeing a Spitfire airplane being restored, I thought I would put up this from an earlier visit to the Lonestar Flight Museum in Galveston
I understand that the hangers took some damage from the recent hurricane, but the planes survived, though the museum is presently closed for repairs

this is an early model which originally had a bubble canopy, but the restorers for some inexplicable reason added a later model canopy
it flies
a larger version of this can be found here classics Photo Gallery by Artichoke Vinagrette at pbase.com along with some others from this fine museum
