Given the many airworthy two-seat Spitfires currently providing unique flying experiences to the public across the country, it is interesting to note that every Spitfire T.9 was originally a single-seat fighter, either a Mk.VIII or, more commonly, a Mk.IX. Although the Spitfire is arguably the most famous fighter aircraft in history, with over 20,000 produced, no official two-seat training variants were produced during World War II. The current fleet of Spitfire T.9s, a postwar phenomenon, helps preserve the legacy of this magnificent aircraft.
