An exhibition showing the remains of the WW2 Spitfire found in Donegal a few months ago has opened at the Workhouse Museum in Derry.
The remains of the fighter plane were taken from a bog in Inishowen in June with this week marking the 70th anniversary of the crash.
Members of pilot Bud Wolfe’s family were in Derry for the exhibition launch.
The Spitfire crashed into a remote bog near Glenealy after Bud Wolfe parachuted from the plane on 30 November 1941 when it developed engine trouble.
Machine guns taken from the plane were successfully fired recently when they were refurbished by members of the Irish Army in Athlone.
