Built in 2007, registered 26 Feb 2007. The kits for these 80% scale replicas of the original Supermarine Spitfire are manufactured by Supermarine Aircraft (no relation to the original company), in Queensland. The kits require at least 1200 hours to construct, depending on options chosen by the builder. The Mk.XXV single seater replica seen here is no longer produced, and was based on the original Spitfire Mk.V, but has a fin and rudder shaped like later versions of the original Spitfire. Production of the replicas has switched to the Mk.XXVI two-seater.

It The Hummingbird is powered by a Lycoming VO-435 piston engine. The kits are produced by Vertical Aviation Technologies of Sanford, Florida, USA. VH-MPB was built in 2012. The Sikorsky S-52 was developed in the late 1940s, with a total of 93 being built for civilian operators, as well as the US Army, Navy and Coast Guard.
