It may be the best known single item from World War 2.
The plane that won the Battle of Britain and helped the Allies defeat the Nazis, the Spitfire, is in Windsor.
The rare plane is part of the Michael Potter private collection and is almost new, having just completed restoration.

It's here for the weekend as a fundraiser for the Canadian Historical Aircraft Association.
Pilot Dave Hadfield calls it wonderful to fly.

"The Spitfire is the iconic World War 2 fighter. It was developed just ahead of the war when the war noises were coming from Europe and people in England were getting alarmed. It was one of the main fighters in the Battle of Britain and it continued to be developed right through the war and was used even afterwards"
Hadfield says this particular plane is named for Canadian pilot Arnold Roseland.
"We picked an airplane that he flew over 40 times I believe in the spring of 1944. He was an RCAF fighter pilot and he actually was shot down and is buried in France, so he embodies the sacrifice of Canadian pilots in WW2"
He says this is the only Spitfire flying in Canada.
"The only one ever built in Canada, it's just our of restoration, it's got 32 hours on the clock right now. So to be entrusted with this is a tremendous honour and privilege, but it's also a lot of fun to fly"
The plane will be on display at the CH2A hangar at Windsor Airport tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday.
After leaving here the Spitfire is headed to the world-famous airshow in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
