List of surviving Supermarine Spitfires

The Supermarine Spitfire is a British single-seat fighter aircraft used by the Royal Air Force along with many other Allied countries throughout the Second World War and afterwards into the 1950s as both a front line fighter and also in secondary roles.

Many developing countries purchased Spitfires as industrial countries phased out propeller-powered aircraft in favour of new jet-engined machines. As these nations started to update their air forces many Spitfires and other Second World War aircraft were sold on the open market to individuals or for scrap. The aircraft in Hong Kong serving with the UK Colonial wings are a good example of the differing means of disposal where they were simply bulldozed into the sea as part of the process to reclaim land from the water in order to lengthen the runway.

Private collectors began to acquire Spitfire aircraft and a number went on to appear in movies and TV shows. These movie and TV appearances in turn helped to save a number of them from being scrapped. The Spitfire with probably the most movie and TV credits is a Mk.IX MH434. It ended up in civilian ownership in the UK around 1956 and has since gone on to appear in many films and TV shows including The Longest Day (1962), The Battle of Britain (1969), A Bridge Too Far (1977), and Piece of Cake (1988).

Many Spitfire and Seafire aircraft survive in museums and private collections around the world today and this article lists individual aircraft known to still exist.

The information in the table below provides a high-level breakdown of the surviving Spitfire/Seafire aircraft across the world by status, with an explanation of the status categories as follows,
Airworthy - Aircraft that are maintained in airworthy condition. Annual maintenance and minor remediation work is ignored.
Static Display - Aircraft that are on static display, with the majority being in publicly accessible museums. Check individual aircraft below for further details as some are displayed on military airfields which are not accessible to the public.
Restoration / Stored - Aircraft which are being either actively restored, held in storage, or otherwise do not fall into the above categories.
