Supermarine Spitfire Mk VIII VH-HET ‘Grey Nurse’

            This aircraft was the last Spitfire acquired by the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF). It was built by Supermarine in England in 1944, test flown and then shipped to Australia. The Air Force took delivery of the aircraft in April 1945, and, with World War II drawing to a close, the aircraft was not required on active service and was instead placed into storage. The aircraft is painted in the green and grey camouflage colours worn by the RAAF aircraft defending Darwin during World War II and in operations in the South West Pacific. The aircraft carries the military serial number A58-602 and markings and of Wing Commander R.H. (Bobby) Gibbes OAM DSO DFC aircraft.
