Condition

The Royal Netherlands Air Force Historical Flight Foundation (SKHV) proudly operates Supermarine Spitfire IXb serial number 3W-17. Built in 1943, the aircraft took part in D-Day operations. It later served with the Dutch 322 Fighter Section, formed in 1946 and renamed 322 Squadron in 1947, originally bearing the serial H-25 before being redesignated 3W-17.

After retiring from military service in 1953, the Spitfire was acquired by the SKHV in 1991. It was fully restored and repainted in a silver scheme, receiving the Dutch civil registration PH-OUQ in 2000.
