Nice.  Good presentation from a news channel as well, very rare.  I'm very happy to see this place in the air.  It would be very nice to see more German, Soviet, Italian, and Japanese planes in the air as well. 

Job well done to all those who worked on that.   :salute

It would be neat to have that version in the game.  The MkII is fun to fly but a latter version would be nice.  Good find on the video.

To the best of my knowledge the Mk XV missed combat in WWII.  It was in service, just no combat so it is in the same place as the F7F and F8F.

The primary WWII Seafire was the Mk III of which 1200 were built, about six times the number of Mk IIs built.

Saw that aircraft several years back when it was offered for sale before restoration.  A pure gem when we assessed the amount of work needed to restore it. 

Nice job getting her back in the air.

Maybe someday then AH will include it in an update.
