FlyPast Magazine September 2025 Retour à l'édition précédente

AN AUSSIE LOVE AFFAIR
September 2025 issue of FlyPast features a very special aeroplane on its cover – Supermarine Spitfire Mk.VIII MV154, which faithfully represents the aircraft flown by Australian ace Gp Capt Clive ‘Killer’ Caldwell. For our cover story, Gavin Conroy captures air-to-air images of this charismatic machine in its natural environment and documents the unusual story of the pilot it salutes.
