Hunter Fighter Collection Incorporated, a registered not-for-profit charity based at Scone, NSW, Australia has commenced its most ambitious project yet – the restoration to airworthy status of Supermarine Spitfire Mk.I X4009, a veteran of the Battle of Britain, and personal mount to Australia's third most prolific WWII fighter ace, Flight Lieutenant Paterson (Pat) Clarence Hughes, DFC. Given that pedigree, X4009 will become one of the most significant Spitfire identities resurrected thus far when she flies again in a few year's time.
