Norwegian Spitfire Foundation was established in 2012 as an ideal organization, Norwegian Spitfire Foundation’s goal is to restore, operate, and maintain a Spitfire and other historic aircraft. NSF wishes to increase the visibility of Norwegian aviation history at large.
The Norwegian Spitfire Foundation has located the remains of Spitfire IX (PL258), an aircraft with a genuine Norwegian World War 2 record. This historic find presents us with a unique opportunity: to restore, and return this original Spitfire to Norwegian skies.
The aircraft will become a living, memorial to the efforts of Norwegian air forces during the War.
Norwegian Spitfire Foundation needs funding to aid the restoration of Spitfire PL258.
