Spitfire N3069: an aircraft project up close

Museum Spitfire PR1B N3069 in Doetinchem is a private research and heritage project. At its centre is the construction of a full-size replica of a photo-reconnaissance aircraft.

Plan your visit ↗

A reconstruction in progress

The Spitfire described is a static replica under construction. That distinction matters: you are not visiting a flying aircraft, but a project in which the construction itself can be a focus of attention.

Photography from the air

The exhibition covers pilot Mervyn Wheatley and the Photographic Development Unit. This means the story focuses on photo reconnaissance; ask which parts of the current display explain that task.

A pre-announced visit

Access is stated as being by appointment or during separate open days. The project's progress can also affect what there is to see and what explanation is possible.

Before you go

Confirm the appointment, address and accessibility directly with the project. There is no fixed weekly schedule you can rely on without prior notice.
