Description

WWII Supermarine Spitfire Historical Plaque IN FULL COLOR- w/ Actual Relic on a 8"x10" Display Plaque

From the Workshop of Artist Craig Tinder - Appreciate the art, learn the story, feel the history.

This is a unique opportunity to own an actual relic of a highly rare Supermarine Spitfire fighter that was acquired directly from the source and has NEVER been in collectors’ circulation.

This 8” x 10” (20 x 25 cm) historical plaque combines this rare artifact, along with the story of the piece, and a beautifully detailed illustration created by artist Craig Tinder.

Designed as a single-seat interceptor, the Supermarine Spitfire was one of a few aircraft to fight in front-line service from the beginning to the end of WWII. With a semi-elliptical wing design, the Spitfire was developed through 24 marks and served with a myriad of foreign air forces. Between 1938 and 1948, over 20,000 Spitfires were built where it remained in service with the RAF until 1955. An iconic symbol of defiance during the Battle of Britain, the Supermarine Spitfire continues to be admired by pilots and captivate the public.

This authentic Supermarine Spitfire relic came from a large aluminum panel from the port wing between ribs 14-17. This large panel still includes rivets and original national marking roundel paint. This panel, along with other Spitfire parts, was used as a template to create new wing panels for the restoration of Spitfire Mark LF/IX TE517.

Known Relic History

This aluminum relic is from Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Vb, AD391, flown by 313 Squadron. On February 23, 1942, the aircraft tragically crashed into the sea near the Royal Artillery Experimental Station in Shoeburyness, Essex. Eyewitnesses reported that the starboard wing touched the water, causing the aircraft to bounce twice before plunging into the sea. The wreckage remained submerged until it was recovered in the early 1980s.Panel from Spitfire AD391 used as relic in "Cannon Hit" limited edition print

The authentic aluminum panel originates from the port wing, positioned between ribs 14 and 17. The large panel retains its original rivets and the paint from the national roundel markings, offering a glimpse into its wartime service. This relic, along with other Spitfire parts, was used in the restoration of Spitfire Mark LF/IX TE517, serving as a template for creating new wing panels to ensure the restoration’s authenticity.Outline of the above panel to denote location. Notice how the paint colors deteriorated from the saltwater, except for the red color.
