Test flew with a Mk. I Spitfire L1090 at RCAF station Uplands near Ottawa in July of 1940. Later flown to Toronto for testing of the Franks Flying Suit. Records show that this Spitfire may have also flown in comparison flights @ Wright Field but no archives in the US can support that. Can anyone help?
