Spitfire P8331, RF-M, Open Label

With this Av-Alc. Label, we celebrate Supermarine Spitfire P8331 ‘Sumatra’ RF-M, and support its restoration by Laguna’s Spitfire Legacy. This presentation aircraft was among the first batch of ten Mk IIB Spitfires that were delivered to No.303 Tadeusz Kościuszko City of Warsaw Squadron at Northolt, during May 1941. This Mk IIB Spitfire was allocated to Wing Commander Piotr Łaguna, from 1 Polish Fighter Wing, on June 27, 1941.

The label is made from aircraft type aluminium parts riveted together with actual aircraft rivets. It features several pieces of hardware including a lead-free wire lock security seal with 2 x thumb, friction set, nuts. The bottle stopper incorporates an actual knurled M29 connector nut.

Each bottle is individually hand labelled with the label effectively being built around the specially moulded Av-Alc Mk II glass bottle. The bottle volume is 700 ml.
