FSX Supermarine Spitfire PRXIX PM631

A repaint of the RealAir Spitfire 2008 MkXIV as a PRXIX Spitfire of 541 Squadron (motto: "Alone Above All") flown by the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight. Fitted with a pressurized cockpit, the historical aircraft performed high altitude PR missions over the European theater from early 1944 to the end of the war. Some say that the Spitfire XIX is "the most beautiful aircraft of them all". 32-bit textures by Grant MacLean/Sean Moloney/RealAir.

RealAir Spitfire PRXIX PM631 repaint upgrade.

Replacement 32-bit Textures for RealAir's FSX RAS2008 Mk XIV.

With humble apologies, these replace the original SPITBBMF.ZIP and SPITBBM2.ZIP textures, with thanks to Barrie Larke and Nico Jurgens for pointing out the snafus. (Moral: excitement about a great new model sparking multiple repaints uploaded to multiple sites is fine, but don't let it screw things up.)

Spitfire PRXIXs were unarmed and could fly at 370mph at 40,000 feet with a range of 1500 miles. Mk XIX Spitfires represent the ‘top end' of development of the Spitfire and indeed of piston engine aircraft. Some say that the Spitfire XIX is "the most beautiful aircraft of them all".

PM631 (cn 6S/683528) entered service in 1946 and was modified in the ‘fifties for meteorological reconnaissance work. In 1957 it became one of the three founder members of the RAF Historic Aircraft Flight.
